WHAT IT DOES

What get_creative does on Ad Lab

AI agents call get_creative to retrieve information from Ad Lab 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_creative is rated Low

Even though get_creative 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_creative safely

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

get_creative Allowed

get_creative 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": {
    "get_creative": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about get_creative

What does the get_creative tool do? +

Read one Ad Lab creative by id: full Creative Spec, current stage, short_code, status, lineage, freshly signed image URL, and the published_at / stopped_at / scored_at timestamps. Use it to confirm what add_idea created, and to check a creative. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ad Lab MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_creative? +

Register the Ad Lab MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_creative: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ad Lab. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_creative? +

get_creative is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_creative? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_creative rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block get_creative completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_creative. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides get_creative? +

get_creative is provided by the Ad Lab MCP server (@577-tools/ad-lab-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
