survey
AI agents call survey to retrieve information from surveyHelper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Given the server's purpose (analyzing and mapping research data) and the pattern of sibling tools (analyze, get, list operations), 'survey' most likely retrieves or queries aggregated data about research papers or interests without modifying state. No evidence of destructive, financial, or code execution capabilities. Classified as Read with medium-low confidence due to empty tool description.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'survey' on a server described as analyzing research papers, mapping citation graphs, and surfacing insights. Sibling tools include 'analyze_paper', 'get_graph', 'get_paper', 'get_synthesis' which are all read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
survey. It is categorised as a Read tool in the surveyHelper MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the surveyHelper MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for survey: 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 surveyHelper. Nothing to install.
survey 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 survey 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 survey. 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.
survey is provided by the surveyHelper MCP server (rich7420/surveyhelper). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
