How secure is the BLS OEWS MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how BLS OEWS holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by BLS OEWS (1102tools.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If BLS OEWS adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

https://bls-oews.1102tools.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official BLS OEWS MCP server?
Yes — BLS OEWS operates its own remote MCP server at bls-oews.1102tools.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
