Performs third-party enrichment lookup for the provided ipv4 address.
AI agents call lookup-ipaddress to retrieve information from Enrichment MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries threat intelligence data about an IPv4 address. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute operations, or trigger financial transactions. The lookup operation is a pure read action that returns enrichment information from third-party services without altering any state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Performs third-party enrichment lookup' — lookup operations are retrieval-only actions with no side effects. The tool queries external threat intelligence services (VirusTotal, Shodan, AbuseIPDB) to retrieve data about an IP address.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Performs third-party enrichment lookup for the provided ipv4 address. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Enrichment MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Enrichment MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lookup-ipaddress: 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 Enrichment MCP Server. Nothing to install.
lookup-ipaddress 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 lookup-ipaddress 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 lookup-ipaddress. 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.
lookup-ipaddress is provided by the Enrichment MCP Server MCP server (synackpwn/enrichment-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
