AI agents call analysis_for_file to retrieve information from SeldomMaster without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries analysis information for a given file (likely from threat intelligence APIs like VirusTotal, GreyNoise, or similar services integrated by SeldomMaster). It returns data without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The risk is limited to information disclosure or reconnaissance.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analysis_for_file' and description label 'Name: analysis_for_file' indicate retrieval of analysis data about a file. No description of modification, deletion, or code execution is provided. The function performs a lookup or query operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analysis_for_file gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SeldomMaster, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analysis_for_file:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analysis_for_file": {}
}
}analysis_for_file is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Name: analysis_for_file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SeldomMaster MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SeldomMaster MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analysis_for_file: 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 SeldomMaster. Nothing to install.
analysis_for_file 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 analysis_for_file 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 analysis_for_file. 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.
analysis_for_file is provided by the SeldomMaster MCP server (paralax/seldommonster). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SeldomMaster, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
