AI agents call detect_stack to retrieve information from QoutaMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs static analysis of a project to identify technologies in use. It reads project files and structures to infer runtime, framework, database, and frontend information, then returns findings. No side effects, code execution, data modification, or deletion occurs. This is a straightforward Read operation with low risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'detect[s]' and 'returns' information about project stacks. The name 'detect_stack' and paired tools 'inspect_project' and 'list_key_files' all indicate passive analysis operations that retrieve or query project metadata without…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Quickly detect the technology stack of a project. Faster and lighter than inspect_project, returns runtime, framework, database hints, and frontend info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the QoutaMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Qouta MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_stack: 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 QoutaMCP. Nothing to install.
detect_stack 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 detect_stack 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 detect_stack. 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.
detect_stack is provided by the Qouta MCP server (qoutaid/qoutamcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
