Classify a block of text into a predefined category.
AI agents call classify_tool to retrieve information from FastMCP Boilerplate without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads/analyzes a block of text and returns a classification result. It has no side effects — it does not write, execute, delete, or commit any financial operations. It is purely an inference/analysis operation on input text.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access classify_tool gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FastMCP Boilerplate, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for classify_tool:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"classify_tool": {}
}
}classify_tool is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Classify a block of text into a predefined category. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FastMCP Boilerplate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FastMCP Boilerplate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for classify_tool: 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 FastMCP Boilerplate. Nothing to install.
classify_tool 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 classify_tool 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 classify_tool. 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.
classify_tool is provided by the FastMCP Boilerplate MCP server (rainer85ah/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from FastMCP Boilerplate, 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.
