What file_analysis does on ThreatMCP

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

Why file_analysis needs a policy

This tool retrieves/queries existing analysis reports for files from ThreatBook's threat intelligence platform. It reads and returns data (threat level, behavioral signatures, network behavior) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Severity is medium because it accesses sensitive threat intelligence data that could reveal security posture or be misused for reconnaissance.

How to control file_analysis

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

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

file_analysis 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 ThreatMCP — 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.
