WHAT IT DOES

What context_about does on Chitta

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

RISK

Why context_about is rated Low

This is a descriptive/informational query that retrieves server metadata and status. It has no side effects—it cannot create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI agent learning about the server's architecture poses no direct risk to data integrity or availability. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'context_about' and description 'Describe this context server' indicate retrieval and introspection of metadata about the server's configuration, purpose, and internal state (vector + knowledge-graph structure).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs context_about safely

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

context_about Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "context_about": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Chitta, apply this rule, and every context_about call is checked against it from then on.
