AI agents call pilot_page_links to retrieve information from Pilot without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves link information from a web page without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational and has no blast radius beyond exposing publicly visible page data that would be accessible through normal browser inspection. This is a standard Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pilot_page_links' and description 'Get all links on the page as text + href pairs' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the passive nature of querying page content confirm this is a read-only operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pilot_page_links gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pilot, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pilot_page_links:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pilot_page_links": {}
}
} pilot_page_links is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get all links on the page as text + href pairs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pilot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pilot_page_links: 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 Pilot. Nothing to install.
pilot_page_links 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 pilot_page_links 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 pilot_page_links. 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.
pilot_page_links is provided by the Pilot MCP server (tacosyhorchata/pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
