get_table_metadata
AI agents call get_table_metadata to retrieve information from Korean Stat without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about statistical tables, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. The description is empty, but the naming pattern and server context (data retrieval from a statistics API) indicate it queries and returns information without modifying state. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the empty description, but the context and naming strongly suggest read-only behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_table_metadata' and server context indicating retrieval of Korean statistical data from KOSIS OpenAPI. Sibling tools like 'browse_categories', 'get_statistics_data', and 'list_key_indicators' are all read operations.

get_table_metadata 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 get_table_metadata 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 get_table_metadata. 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.
