WHAT IT DOES

What features_detect does on Ruflo

AI agents call features_detect 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.

RISK

Why features_detect is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about runtime features without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It has no side effects beyond returning feature detection results. The deprecation notice suggests it's a legacy informational tool for API capability discovery, fitting the 'Read' category for data retrieval operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'features_detect' and description indicate it detects/queries runtime features with no modification capability.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs features_detect 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 features_detect, this is the rule to start with:

features_detect Allowed

features_detect is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ruflo, apply this rule, and every features_detect call is checked against it from then on.
