AI agents call user-audit-tool to retrieve information from Rhombus Node without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though user-audit-tool only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access user-audit-tool gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

This tool retrieves configuration audit trails for specific users or specific targets (devices, policies, etc.). Unlike the general audit feed, this focuses on a SINGLE user or a SINGLE target entity. It has the following modes of operation, determined by the "requestType" parameter: - audit-by-user: Get all configuration changes made BY a specific user. Requires userUuid (use user-tool to find it). Answers: "What did this admin change recently?" - audit-by-target: Get all configuration changes made TO a specific entity (camera, door, policy, etc.). Requires targetUuid. Answers: "Who changed the settings on this camera?" Both modes return audit events with action, display text, who did it, what was changed, and when. Output filtering (all tools): - includeFields (string[]): Dot-notation paths to keep in the response (e.g. "vehicleEvents.vehicleLicensePlate"). Omit to return all fields. - filterBy (array): Predicates to filter array items. Each entry: {field, op, value} where op is one of = != > >= < <= contains. All conditions are ANDed. Example: [{field:"vehicleLicensePlate", op:"=", value:"ABC123"}] WARNING: some tool responses exceed 400k characters — use these params to request only the data you need.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rhombus Node MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rhombus Node MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for user-audit-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 Rhombus Node. Nothing to install.
user-audit-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 user-audit-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 user-audit-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.
user-audit-tool is provided by the Rhombus Node MCP server (rhombus-node-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
