Get country risk scores computed from ACLED conflict data vs historical baselines. Requires ACLED_ACCESS_TOKEN.
AI agents call intel_risk_scores to retrieve information from Threat Intelligence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves precomputed risk score data derived from ACLED conflict data and historical baselines. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete records, or move money. The operation is purely informational and returns analytical results based on existing threat intelligence.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] country risk scores' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The verb 'Get' explicitly indicates a read-only query operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access intel_risk_scores gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Threat Intelligence MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for intel_risk_scores:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"intel_risk_scores": {}
}
}intel_risk_scores is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get country risk scores computed from ACLED conflict data vs historical baselines. Requires ACLED_ACCESS_TOKEN. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for intel_risk_scores: 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 Threat Intelligence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
intel_risk_scores 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 intel_risk_scores 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 intel_risk_scores. 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.
intel_risk_scores is provided by the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server (marc-shade/world-intel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Threat Intelligence MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
