AI agents call get_bank_list to retrieve information from Vnpay without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static or semi-static reference data (list of banks) from the payment gateway. It performs no modifications, deletions, financial transactions, or code execution. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn which banks are supported, which is typically public information. This is a straightforward Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_bank_list' and description 'Get list of supported banks' indicate a simple data retrieval operation with no side effects.

get_bank_list 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 get_bank_list 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 get_bank_list. 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.
