Read field names from an official DOL foreign-labor disclosure XLSX file.
AI agents call foreign_labor_fields to retrieve information from DOL WHD 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 retrieves field metadata from a government data file with no side effects—no data creation, modification, deletion, execution, or financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation on publicly available DOL disclosure data.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read field names' and accesses a disclosure file to retrieve metadata without modification.

Register the DOL WHD MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for foreign_labor_fields: 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 DOL WHD MCP. Nothing to install.
foreign_labor_fields 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 foreign_labor_fields 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 foreign_labor_fields. 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.
foreign_labor_fields is provided by the DOL WHD MCP server (uhq-actual/dol_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
