borrowip_get_proxy
AI agents call borrowip_get_proxy 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.
Based on the naming convention and context of sibling tools (list_proxies, check_ip, status, health_check), borrowip_get_proxy most likely retrieves proxy connection details. This is a Read operation, but carries medium severity because proxy credentials/endpoints could be misused to route traffic through a user's cellular connection without consent. Empty description lowers confidence significantly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'borrowip_get_proxy' and sibling tool 'borrowip_list_proxies' suggest retrieval of proxy configuration data. Description is empty, lowering confidence.

borrowip_get_proxy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BorrowIP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BorrowIP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for borrowip_get_proxy: 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_get_proxy 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_get_proxy 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_get_proxy. 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.
