Checks the /api/v1/payment endpoint on a Payram server using baseUrl and apiKey. If they are not provided, returns a .env template you can add to your workspace.
AI agents call test_payram_connection to retrieve information from PayRam MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a read-only connectivity test against a payment endpoint to verify the server is reachable and credentials are valid. It does not create, modify, or execute any financial transactions. The fallback behavior of returning a .env template is also non-destructive. Severity is low as misuse only reveals connectivity status or leaks API key validity.
From the tool's definition 'Checks the /api/v1/payment endpoint' — this is a connectivity/health check that reads/tests a connection without modifying data or initiating payments.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access test_payram_connection gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PayRam MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for test_payram_connection:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"test_payram_connection": {}
}
}test_payram_connection is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Checks the /api/v1/payment endpoint on a Payram server using baseUrl and apiKey. If they are not provided, returns a .env template you can add to your workspace. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PayRam MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PayRam MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for test_payram_connection: 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 PayRam MCP Server. Nothing to install.
test_payram_connection 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 test_payram_connection 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 test_payram_connection. 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.
test_payram_connection is provided by the PayRam MCP Server MCP server (payram/payram-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
