What compliance_check does on Ludus FastMCP
AI agents call compliance_check to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why compliance_check is rated Low
The tool reads and analyzes compliance data against frameworks but does not write, modify, delete, or execute operations. 'Check' operations are inherently informational queries with no side effects. The low severity reflects that misuse would only result in information disclosure or incorrect compliance reporting, not system damage or financial impact.
From the tool's definition The tool name is 'compliance_check' and the description states it performs a check against security frameworks. This is a retrieval/query operation that evaluates compliance status without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.

The rule that runs compliance_check safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For compliance_check, this is the rule to start with:
compliance_check is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ludus FastMCP, apply this rule, and every compliance_check call is checked against it from then on.
