WHAT IT DOES

What get_mcp_runtime_metrics does on 0xpdf

AI agents call get_mcp_runtime_metrics to retrieve information from 0xpdf without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_mcp_runtime_metrics is rated Low

Even though get_mcp_runtime_metrics only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_mcp_runtime_metrics safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0xpdf, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_mcp_runtime_metrics, this is the rule to start with:

get_mcp_runtime_metrics Allowed

get_mcp_runtime_metrics is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
