What cve_lookup does on Ruflo

AI agents call cve_lookup to retrieve information from Ruflo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why cve_lookup is rated Low

This tool retrieves vulnerability information from a CVE database without modifying, executing code, or causing destructive changes. While CVE information could theoretically be used to exploit systems, the tool itself is merely a read operation that queries existing security data. The blast radius is minimal since it only returns information already in public vulnerability databases.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'cve_lookup' and description 'Lookup CVE details' indicate a query/retrieval operation that accesses CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) information.

The rule that runs cve_lookup safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ruflo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cve_lookup, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cve_lookup": {}
  }
}
