Decode Base64 input data
AI agents call decodeBase64 to retrieve information from Mcp Helper Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a local, stateless decoding transformation of Base64-encoded input into its original form. It reads/transforms data with no side effects, no external calls, no storage writes, and no destructive operations. Misuse potential is minimal.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Decode Base64 input data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Helper Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Helper Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for decodeBase64: 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 Mcp Helper Tools. Nothing to install.
decodeBase64 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 decodeBase64 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 decodeBase64. 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.
decodeBase64 is provided by the Mcp Helper Tools MCP server (missionsquad/mcp-helper-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
