AI agents call usg_get_blacklist 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 and reads the current blacklist configuration from a security device. It performs a pure data query operation with optional filtering, producing no side effects. This is a standard information retrieval action typical of Read category tools.

usg_get_blacklist 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 usg_get_blacklist 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.
