What stats does on Wellread

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

Why stats needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays personal statistics and metrics. It is a read-only operation that queries stored data about the user's account activity and impact. No data is modified, created, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could view a user's stats but cannot damage systems, execute code, modify data, or incur financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stats' and description 'View your personal wellread stats: karma, savings, contributions, and network impact' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, execution, or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stats gives an agent:

How to control stats

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Wellread, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for stats:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stats": {}
  }
}

stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Wellread — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
