Check the external IP address of the mobile proxy.
AI agents call borrowip_check_ip to retrieve information from BorrowIP 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 IP address information from the mobile proxy without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a simple read operation with minimal security risk. While the broader server enables web scraping and IP spoofing (potentially for bypassing security controls), this specific tool merely queries status information.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'check', description states 'Check the external IP address', which is a query operation that retrieves current IP information without modification or side effects.

Register the BorrowIP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for borrowip_check_ip: 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 BorrowIP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
borrowip_check_ip 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 borrowip_check_ip 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 borrowip_check_ip. 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.
borrowip_check_ip is provided by the BorrowIP MCP Server MCP server (wahyuzero/borrowip). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
