AI agents call consult-council to retrieve information from Roundtable without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though consult-council only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access consult-council gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Consult the AI coding council — multiple models discuss your engineering question sequentially (each sees prior responses), then a moderator synthesizes. Auto-mode by default — AI picks optimal models, roles, and conversation mode from your prompt. Provide explicit models to override (manual mode). Fully configurable: mode, format, roles, models, thinking level.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Roundtable MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Roundtable MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for consult-council: 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 Roundtable. Nothing to install.
consult-council 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 consult-council 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 consult-council. 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.
consult-council is provided by the Roundtable MCP server (https://mcp.roundtable.now/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
