Get answers to frequently asked questions about SAGE. Available topics: getting_started, plugin_development, data_access, job_submission, sensors, troubleshooting, node_access
AI agents call sage_faq to retrieve information from Sage MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns pre-existing FAQ information in response to user queries. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, or commit resources. It is purely informational retrieval, consistent with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get answers to frequently asked questions' - a retrieval operation that provides informational content about SAGE topics. No modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations are described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get answers to frequently asked questions about SAGE. Available topics: getting_started, plugin_development, data_access, job_submission, sensors, troubleshooting, node_access. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sage MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sage MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sage_faq: 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 Sage MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sage_faq 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 sage_faq 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 sage_faq. 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.
sage_faq is provided by the Sage MCP Server MCP server (waggle-sensor/sage-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
