determine_class
AI agents call determine_class to retrieve information from IBM Content Services MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Without explicit description, 'determine_class' most likely retrieves or determines document classification/properties without modifying data. The sibling tools show clear write/destructive actions (create, delete, checkin/checkout), so this isolated tool likely performs a read-only classification query. Confidence is moderate (0.6) due to absent description; if it modifies classifications, severity should be higher.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'determine_class' combined with server context (IBM FileNet Content Manager for document lifecycle management) suggests classification determination or metadata inspection. No description provided to clarify intent.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
determine_class. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IBM Content Services MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IBM Content Services MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for determine_class: 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 IBM Content Services MCP Server. Nothing to install.
determine_class 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 determine_class 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 determine_class. 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.
determine_class is provided by the IBM Content Services MCP Server MCP server (mohamedarif-m/filenet-mcp-localfile). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
