List all connected mobile proxies with details.
AI agents call borrowip_list_proxies 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 is a read operation that enumerates proxy connections. However, the context—a server enabling web scraping via cellular connections to circumvent IP-based restrictions—elevates the severity beyond 'low' because the tool could facilitate reconnaissance for evasion of security controls, unauthorized access masking, or violation of terms of service.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'borrowip_list_proxies' and description 'List all connected mobile proxies with details' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no stated modification capability.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the borrowip_list_proxies 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.
