AXIS-owned vector store. Two operations:
AI agents call iliad_vector_database to retrieve information from AXIS iliad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Vector database operations typically involve querying embeddings for similarity search and retrieval. Without evidence of write, delete, or execute capabilities, and given the standard use case of vector stores as read-only retrieval systems, this is classified as Read.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Two operations' but provides no details on what those operations are. However, the name 'vector_database' and context of an AXIS-owned vector store strongly suggest read-only querying operations (semantic search, retrieval, lookup).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
AXIS-owned vector store. Two operations:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AXIS iliad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AXIS iliad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for iliad_vector_database: 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 AXIS iliad. Nothing to install.
iliad_vector_database 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 iliad_vector_database 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 iliad_vector_database. 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.
iliad_vector_database is provided by the AXIS iliad MCP server (lastmanupinc-hub/axis-iliad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
