AI agents call find_stats to retrieve information from Proxima without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on the name alone, 'find_stats' appears to be a read operation that retrieves statistical information or metrics. The sibling tools on this server (academic_search, analyze_document, analyze_file, ask_*) are all non-destructive information retrieval or analysis tools, suggesting this tool follows a similar pattern.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_stats' strongly suggests data retrieval or statistical querying with no side effects. However, the description is empty, which limits certainty about exact behavior.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access find_stats gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Proxima, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for find_stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"find_stats": {}
}
}find_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

find_stats. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Proxima MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Proxima MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_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 Proxima. Nothing to install.
find_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 find_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 find_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.
find_stats is provided by the Proxima MCP server (zen4-bit/proxima). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
