Find related subcategories and analyze relationships

How to control get_related_subcategories ↓

AI agents call get_related_subcategories to retrieve information from NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves information about subcategories and their relationships within the NIST CSF 2.0 assessment framework. The verbs 'find' and 'analyze' denote read-only operations that query existing data structures without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. No financial, destructive, or code execution capabilities are implied.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_related_subcategories' and description 'Find related subcategories and analyze relationships' indicate data retrieval and analysis operations with no modification or execution of external code.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_related_subcategories gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_related_subcategories:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_related_subcategories": {}
  }
}

get_related_subcategories is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the get_related_subcategories tool do? +

Find related subcategories and analyze relationships. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_related_subcategories? +

Register the NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_related_subcategories: 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 NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_related_subcategories? +

get_related_subcategories is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_related_subcategories? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_related_subcategories 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 get_related_subcategories completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_related_subcategories. 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 get_related_subcategories? +

get_related_subcategories is provided by the NIST CSF 2 0 Assessment Platform MCP server (rocklambros/nist-csf-2-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
