gateway_discover
AI agents call gateway_discover to retrieve information from Claude Team MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The suffix 'discover' typically indicates reconnaissance or data retrieval (listing, enumerating, or querying existing resources), which aligns with the Read category. However, confidence is moderate because the description is empty, making it impossible to verify the tool's actual behavior. If the tool performs passive discovery of system gateways or service endpoints without side effects, it remains Read.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gateway_discover' suggests discovery/enumeration of gateways or endpoints. No description provided; inferred from name only.

Register the Claude Team MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_discover: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Claude Team MCP. Nothing to install.
gateway_discover is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gateway_discover rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gateway_discover. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
