Why threat_model needs a policy

The tool name suggests threat modeling, which in context of a security framework MCP server likely generates or reads threat model data. However, with no description available, the exact behavior is unknown.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'threat_model'; description is empty or uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access threat_model gives an agent:

How to control threat_model

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Security Framework, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for threat_model:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "threat_model": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "threat_model_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

threat_model gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Security Framework — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Can I rate-limit threat_model? +

What MCP server provides threat_model? +

threat_model is provided by the Security Framework MCP server (zer0-kr/security-framework-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Security Framework tool call.

Start from Security Framework, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
