How to control generate_report_tool ↓

AI agents call generate_report_tool to retrieve information from Mcp Plexus without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Reporting tools typically aggregate and present existing data without modifying it, placing them in the Read category. However, the description is vague and uninformative, so confidence is moderate. Severity is medium because reports may expose sensitive or aggregated data across tenants given the multi-tenant context of this server (mcp-plexus with tenant-specific sibling tools).

From the tool's definition 'Reporting tool categorized under the 'reporting' tool set.'

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_report_tool gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Plexus, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_report_tool:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_report_tool": {}
  }
}

generate_report_tool is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Plexus — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
