AI agents call get_security_policies 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 retrieves security policy information from AF security devices without creating, modifying, or deleting data. While the data retrieved (security policies) could be sensitive in a security context, the operation itself is non-destructive and read-only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_security_policies' and description '查询安全策略列表' (query security policy list) indicate data retrieval with no modifications. The verb '查询' (query/retrieve) confirms read-only operation.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_security_policies 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 get_security_policies. 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.
get_security_policies 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.
