get_correlations

Compute correlation between two metrics over a time period. Shows whether two aspects of your life are statistically related.

Part of the Xeve server.

get_correlations is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_correlations to retrieve information from Xeve without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_correlations only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_correlations gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_correlations only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_correlations tool do? +

Compute correlation between two metrics over a time period. Shows whether two aspects of your life are statistically related.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xeve MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_correlations? +

Register the Xeve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_correlations: 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 Xeve. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_correlations? +

get_correlations is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_correlations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_correlations 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.

How do I block get_correlations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_correlations. 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.

What MCP server provides get_correlations? +

get_correlations is provided by the Xeve MCP server (xeve-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Xeve tool call.
