WHAT IT DOES

What transfer_detect-pii does on Ruflo

AI agents call transfer_detect-pii 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 transfer_detect-pii is rated Low

This tool reads content to identify personally identifiable information but does not modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a non-destructive analysis/detection function, making it a Read category tool. Severity is low because detection of PII presents minimal blast radius—the agent learns what PII exists but cannot act on that information destructively through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'transfer_detect-pii' with description 'Detect PII in content without redacting' indicates scanning/analysis operation. The phrase 'without redacting' clarifies it performs detection only, not modification. No side effects on data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs transfer_detect-pii 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 transfer_detect-pii, this is the rule to start with:

transfer_detect-pii Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "transfer_detect-pii": {}
  }
}

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 transfer_detect-pii call is checked against it from then on.
