What get_entity_metrics does on TDZ C64 Knowledge

AI agents call get_entity_metrics to retrieve information from TDZ C64 Knowledge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_entity_metrics needs a policy

This tool queries and returns analytical metrics about entities in a knowledge graph. It performs read-only operations that retrieve existing computational results without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal – an attacker could learn structural properties of the knowledge graph but cannot alter data or trigger operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_entity_metrics' and description states 'Retrieve stored graph metrics' – the verb 'retrieve' and the focus on reading pre-computed metrics (PageRank, centrality scores, etc.) indicate pure data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Questions about get_entity_metrics

What does the get_entity_metrics tool do? +

Retrieve stored graph metrics for a specific entity. Returns PageRank score, betweenness centrality, degree centrality, community ID, entity type, and computation timestamp. Useful for understanding an entity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_entity_metrics? +

Register the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_entity_metrics: 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 TDZ C64 Knowledge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_entity_metrics? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_entity_metrics? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_entity_metrics 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 get_entity_metrics completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_entity_metrics. 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 get_entity_metrics? +

get_entity_metrics is provided by the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP server (michaeltroelsen/tdz-c64-knowledge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
