AI agents call swarm_recommend_workflow to retrieve information from Mcp Swarm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool analyzes task descriptions and returns workflow recommendations. It performs information retrieval and analysis (Read category) with no state changes, data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial implications. The 'swarm_analyze_*' sibling tools on the same server confirm the pattern of analytical/read operations in this MCP server.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'swarm_recommend_workflow' and description '根据任务描述智能推荐最合适的工作流' (Intelligently recommend the most suitable workflow based on task description) indicate analysis and recommendation of workflows without performing side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
根据任务描述智能推荐最合适的工作流。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Swarm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Swarm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swarm_recommend_workflow: 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 Swarm. Nothing to install.
swarm_recommend_workflow 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 swarm_recommend_workflow 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 swarm_recommend_workflow. 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.
swarm_recommend_workflow is provided by the Mcp Swarm MCP server (moselu/mcp-swarm). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
