Counters of what the local cache currently holds.
AI agents call get_cache_stats to retrieve information from Polymarket Research without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and reports cache statistics. It performs no write, execute, destructive, or financial operations. The read operation is on internal cache metadata with minimal blast radius. Low severity because even if misused, it only exposes counters of cached data, not sensitive information directly, and causes no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_cache_stats' with description 'Counters of what the local cache currently holds.' It retrieves cache statistics with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Counters of what the local cache currently holds. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Polymarket Research MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Polymarket Research MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cache_stats: 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 Polymarket Research. Nothing to install.
get_cache_stats 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 get_cache_stats 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_cache_stats. 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_cache_stats is provided by the Polymarket Research MCP server (yoppav/polymarket-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
