discovery_get_results is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call discovery_get_results to retrieve information from Discovery Engine without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though discovery_get_results only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access discovery_get_results gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so discovery_get_results only ever does what you allow.

What does the discovery_get_results tool do? +

Fetch the full results of a completed Disco run. Returns discovered patterns (with conditions, p-values, novelty scores, citations), feature importance scores, a summary with key insights, column statistics, and suggestions for what to explore next. The response includes a dashboard_urls object with direct links to each page of the interactive report — use these to direct the user to the most relevant view: - summary: AI-generated overview with key insights, novel findings, and plain-language explanation of the most important findings - patterns: Full list of discovered patterns with conditions, effect sizes, p-values, novelty scores, citations, and interactive visualisations - features: Feature importances, feature statistics and distribution plots, and correlation matrix - territory: Interactive 3D map showing how patterns select different regions of the data Only call this after discovery_status returns "completed". Args: run_id: The run ID returned by discovery_analyze. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Discovery Engine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on discovery_get_results? +

Register the Discovery Engine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discovery_get_results: 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 Discovery Engine. Nothing to install.

What risk level is discovery_get_results? +

discovery_get_results is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit discovery_get_results? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the discovery_get_results 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.

How do I block discovery_get_results completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for discovery_get_results. 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.

What MCP server provides discovery_get_results? +

discovery_get_results is provided by the Discovery Engine MCP server (leap-laboratories/discovery-engine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Discovery Engine tool call.
