THE RISK

Why my_tool needs a policy

The tool name 'my_tool' is a generic placeholder and the description is completely empty, making it impossible to determine what this tool does. Without any evidence of its functionality, it cannot be reliably classified into any specific risk category. Confidence is very low due to the lack of information.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'my_tool' with an empty description providing no functional information.

POLICY

How to control my_tool

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "my_tool": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "my_tool_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

my_tool gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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