What end_surge_tax does on Basis MCP Server
AI agents call end_surge_tax to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why end_surge_tax is rated Low
Even though end_surge_tax only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs end_surge_tax safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Basis MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For end_surge_tax, this is the rule to start with:
end_surge_tax is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Basis MCP Server, apply this rule, and every end_surge_tax call is checked against it from then on.
