Scan LLM output for data leakage, secrets, PII, and exfiltration patterns
AI agents call scan_output to retrieve information from ZugaShield without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a security scanning/monitoring tool that reads and analyzes LLM output to detect sensitive data patterns. It has no side effects—it does not modify data, execute code, destroy resources, or commit financial transactions. The sole purpose is to inspect and report on output characteristics for security purposes, making it clearly a Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'scan_output' and description states it 'scan[s]' output for data leakage and patterns. The verb 'scan' indicates passive analysis and inspection; the tool retrieves and analyzes data without modifying, executing operations, deleting, or moving…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Scan LLM output for data leakage, secrets, PII, and exfiltration patterns. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ZugaShield MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ZugaShield MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scan_output: 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 ZugaShield. Nothing to install.
scan_output 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 scan_output 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 scan_output. 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.
scan_output is provided by the ZugaShield MCP server (zuga-technologies/zugashield). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
scan_output is one line of ZugaShield's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
