Fetch Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from the ransomware.live API.
AI agents call fetch_iocs_tool to retrieve information from Ransomware Analysis 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 IOC data from an external API for cybersecurity investigation purposes. It performs read-only operations without side effects: no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access ransomware intelligence data already publicly available via the API, which is the intended use case for threat analysis.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'fetch' and description states it 'Fetch[es] Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from the ransomware.live API' — a pure data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from the ransomware.live API. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ransomware Analysis MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ransomware Analysis MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetch_iocs_tool: 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 Ransomware Analysis MCP Server. Nothing to install.
fetch_iocs_tool 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 fetch_iocs_tool 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 fetch_iocs_tool. 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.
fetch_iocs_tool is provided by the Ransomware Analysis MCP Server MCP server (mohamedouamer19/ransomware_scraper). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
