# AI Gateway Tools tab {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 22, 2026

Use the Tools tab of the AI Gateway settings page to choose whether tools are automatically deactivated after a security scan or activated after approval.

AI Gateway scans each tool that it fetches from an MCP server. The settings on this tab decide what happens next.

| Setting | What it does |
|-|-|
| Automatically deactivate vulnerable tools | When it's on, tools that the scan finds vulnerable are deactivated automatically, including tools that are in use, which also affects active client calls to them. If a later scan finds that the vulnerability has been removed, the tools are activated again. When it's off, vulnerable tools aren't deactivated automatically. |
| Automatically activate new tools | When it's on, tools that AI Gateway fetches after an MCP server has been approved are activated automatically. When it's off, newly fetched tools aren't activated automatically. |

To change a setting, use its toggle, and then select Turn on or Turn off in the confirmation dialog. The settings apply to all MCP servers connected through AI Gateway. To activate or deactivate one tool on one
server, see [Activate or deactivate a tool](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Lmba6JcC8zArlS8zzPrtxw "Allow agents to call one MCP server tool through AI Gateway, or block every call to it.").
