get_modules_by_family
Filter the derived module list by family, model id, or capability. The platform has no formal 'family' taxonomy, so this matches model ids and capability strings case-insensitively. An empty result means no indexed launch declares it. No API key required.

What get_modules_by_family does on Programmable
AI agents call get_modules_by_family to retrieve information from Programmable without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
family | string | Yes | Family, model id, or capability, e.g. "buyback". |
chainId | integer | — | Chain to query. Defaults to 4663 (Robinhood Chain). Use 1 for Ethereum Mainnet. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_modules_by_family is rated Low
Even though get_modules_by_family 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
The rule that runs get_modules_by_family safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Programmable, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_modules_by_family, this is the rule to start with:
get_modules_by_family is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Programmable, apply this rule, and every get_modules_by_family call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_modules_by_family
Filter the derived module list by family, model id, or capability. The platform has no formal 'family' taxonomy, so this matches model ids and capability strings case-insensitively. An empty result means no indexed launch declares it. No API key required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Programmable MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_modules_by_family accepts 2 parameters: family, chainId. Required: family. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Programmable MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_modules_by_family: 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 Programmable. Nothing to install.
get_modules_by_family is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_modules_by_family 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_modules_by_family. 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.
get_modules_by_family is provided by the Programmable MCP server (@aabxtract/programmable-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
