WHAT IT DOES

What getApiDetails does on Dynamic API Server (MCP)

AI agents call getApiDetails to retrieve information from Dynamic API Server (MCP) without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why getApiDetails is rated Low

This is a read-only tool that queries metadata about available APIs. It has no side effects, does not execute external operations, and does not modify any state. The purpose is purely informational—to help callers understand what parameters an API requires before calling executeApi. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since retrieving API documentation cannot cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getApiDetails' and description 'Get parameters and examples for a given apiId' indicate it retrieves information about API specifications without modifying or executing any operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs getApiDetails safely

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

getApiDetails Allowed

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

  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Dynamic API Server (MCP), apply this rule, and every getApiDetails call is checked against it from then on.
