How to control node9_scan ↓

AI agents call node9_scan to retrieve information from Node9-Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and analyzes historical AI agent activity logs to generate reports about what security policies would have blocked. While the blast radius is high (access to all agent history across multiple AI systems could reveal sensitive operations, decision patterns, or prior requests), the action itself is read-only with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial commitments made.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'node9_scan' and description states 'Scan all AI agent history...and report' — the verb 'scan' and 'report' indicate retrieval and querying of historical data with no modification or deletion.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node9_scan gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Node9-Proxy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for node9_scan:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "node9_scan": {}
  }
}

node9_scan 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 Node9-Proxy — 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.

What does the node9_scan tool do? +

Scan all AI agent history (Claude + Gemini) and report what node9 would have blocked or. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Node9-Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on node9_scan? +

Register the Node9-Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for node9_scan: 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 Node9-Proxy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is node9_scan? +

node9_scan is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit node9_scan? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the node9_scan 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.

How do I block node9_scan completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for node9_scan. 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.

What MCP server provides node9_scan? +

node9_scan is provided by the Node9-Proxy MCP server (node9-ai/node9-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Node9-Proxy tool call.
