batch_get_neighbors
AI agents call batch_get_neighbors to retrieve information from Umbrella Terminal MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to query legislative data relationships (neighbors in a graph context, consistent with sibling 'find_path' and 'get_bill_graph'). This is a read operation retrieving existing data with no side effects. Low severity because unauthorized access to public legislative records poses minimal direct harm, though confidence is reduced due to missing description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch_get_neighbors' with sibling tools like 'get_bill', 'get_bill_amendments', 'get_bill_history', 'get_bill_lobby_positions' and server purpose of 'querying Colorado legislative intelligence' indicate this retrieves relational data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
batch_get_neighbors. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Umbrella Terminal MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Umbrella Terminal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_get_neighbors: 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 Umbrella Terminal MCP. Nothing to install.
batch_get_neighbors 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 batch_get_neighbors 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 batch_get_neighbors. 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.
batch_get_neighbors is provided by the Umbrella Terminal MCP server (theblackcompany/umbrella_terminal_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
