AI agents call check_whitelist_targets to retrieve information from AF_MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only check against whitelist rules to determine if targets match. It queries existing configuration but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—returning incorrect whitelist status would not cause data loss, financial impact, or irreversible changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_whitelist_targets' and description '检查一组目标是否命中当前白名单规则' (check whether a group of targets hit the current whitelist rules) indicate a query/lookup operation that retrieves whitelist status without modifying state.

检查一组目标是否命中当前白名单规则。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AF_MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AF_ MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_whitelist_targets: 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 AF_MCP. Nothing to install.
check_whitelist_targets 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 check_whitelist_targets 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 check_whitelist_targets. 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.
check_whitelist_targets is provided by the AF_ MCP server (xiaqijun/af_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
