Echo back the input (approach 2)
AI agents call echo2 as a supporting operation in Follow Plan MCP Server workflows.
An echo tool performs no reads from external data stores, no writes, no execution of code, and no destructive or financial operations. It merely returns what was given to it, making it a rare 'Other' classification. Confidence is moderate because the description is minimal and 'approach 2' is unexplained, but the core function appears benign.
From the tool's definition 'Echo back the input (approach 2)' — the tool simply reflects input back to the caller with no data modification, execution, or external effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Echo back the input (approach 2). It is categorised as a Other tool in the Follow Plan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the Follow Plan MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for echo2: 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 Follow Plan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
echo2 is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the echo2 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 echo2. 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.
echo2 is provided by the Follow Plan MCP Server MCP server (vibeclasses/follow-plan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
