AI agents call reply_question to retrieve information from Wb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though reply_question only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
⚠️ ОТВЕТИТЬ на вопрос покупателя. ВНИМАНИЕ: это действие отправляет реальный ответ, который увидит покупатель! Убедитесь, что текст корректен перед отправкой. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reply_question: 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 Wb. Nothing to install.
reply_question 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 reply_question 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 reply_question. 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.
reply_question is provided by the Wb MCP server (wb-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
