For each tool supplied, return StackSwap's AI-native replacement recommendation (when one exists) with annual savings and reasoning. Skews toward legacy → modern swaps (Outreach → Smartlead, ZoomInfo → Apollo, etc.).
AI agents call suggest_swaps to retrieve information from StackSwap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries a curated database (StackSwap) to retrieve and surface pre-computed replacement recommendations. It is purely informational—it reads and returns suggestions based on supplied inputs but does not modify any state, execute code/scripts, delete data, or trigger financial transactions. Even though the output may inform purchasing decisions, the tool itself only retrieves and presents data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'return[s] StackSwap's AI-native replacement recommendation' and provides 'annual savings and reasoning'—a retrieval and suggestion operation with no data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
For each tool supplied, return StackSwap's AI-native replacement recommendation (when one exists) with annual savings and reasoning. Skews toward legacy → modern swaps (Outreach → Smartlead, ZoomInfo → Apollo, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the StackSwap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
suggest_swaps accepts 1 parameter: tools. Required: tools. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the StackSwap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for suggest_swaps: 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 StackSwap. Nothing to install.
suggest_swaps 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 suggest_swaps 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 suggest_swaps. 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.
suggest_swaps is provided by the StackSwap MCP server (StonesofCreation/stackswap-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
