auto_detect_resource
AI agents call auto_detect_resource to retrieve information from Données Québec MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name and server context strongly suggest this performs resource discovery or metadata retrieval without modifying data. However, confidence is reduced to 0.6 because the description is empty, leaving ambiguity about whether 'auto_detect' could trigger unexpected side effects (e.g., automatic downloads or queries).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'auto_detect_resource' suggests retrieval or discovery of resources. Server context indicates data exploration and analysis of Québec open datasets.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
auto_detect_resource. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Données Québec MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Données Québec MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for auto_detect_resource: 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 Données Québec MCP. Nothing to install.
auto_detect_resource 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 auto_detect_resource 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 auto_detect_resource. 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.
auto_detect_resource is provided by the Données Québec MCP server (stefen-taime/donneesqc-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
