blast_radius
AI agents call blast_radius to retrieve information from TempoGraph without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Without explicit description, classification relies on contextual inference. The tool appears designed to query or visualize the scope of changes (blast radius analysis), which is a read-only analysis operation common in code intelligence tools. No indication of side effects, execution of user code, or data modification. Low severity as a read operation; confidence reduced due to missing description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'blast_radius' suggests analysis of code impact or dependency scope. Empty description limits confidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
blast_radius. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TempoGraph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TempoGraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for blast_radius: 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 TempoGraph. Nothing to install.
blast_radius 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 blast_radius 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 blast_radius. 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.
blast_radius is provided by the TempoGraph MCP server (tempograph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
