login · Qldt Hanu MCP: Risk & Policy

Q: What risk level is login?

login is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

WHAT IT DOES

What login does on Qldt Hanu

AI agents invoke login to trigger actions in Qldt Hanu. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why login needs a policy

This tool initiates an authentication action against the Hanoi University portal, which is an external operation with significant security implications. It handles credentials and produces access tokens that grant access to student data. It goes beyond a simple read (no data retrieved) and beyond a simple write (it triggers an external auth flow).

From the tool's definition "Perform login into QLDT to get access token" — triggers an authentication operation against an external portal, producing a session token

Verdict

login stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about login

What does the login tool do? +

Perform login into QLDT to get access token. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Qldt Hanu MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on login? +

Register the Qldt Hanu MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for login: 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 Qldt Hanu. Nothing to install.

What risk level is login? +

Can I rate-limit login? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the login 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.

How do I block login completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for login. 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.

What MCP server provides login? +

login is provided by the Qldt Hanu MCP server (qxbao/qldt-hanu-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
