AI agents call eval_baselines to retrieve information from Novyx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of existing eval baselines without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The verb 'list' is explicitly a Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all saved eval baselines' — a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access eval_baselines gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Novyx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for eval_baselines:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"eval_baselines": {}
}
}eval_baselines is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List all saved eval baselines. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Novyx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Novyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for eval_baselines: 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 Novyx. Nothing to install.
eval_baselines 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 eval_baselines 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 eval_baselines. 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.
eval_baselines is provided by the Novyx MCP server (novyxlabs/novyx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
