Find shortest path between two entities.
AI agents call find_path 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.
This tool queries and traverses relationships in the legislative intelligence database to identify connections between entities (likely legislators, bills, stakeholders, etc.). It retrieves data and produces no side effects, no code execution, no deletions, and no financial transactions. It is a straightforward graph traversal query, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_path' and description 'Find shortest path between two entities' indicate a query/search operation that retrieves relational information between entities in the legislative database.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find shortest path between two entities. 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 find_path: 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.
find_path 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 find_path 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 find_path. 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.
find_path 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.
