get_my_agent

Identity card for your ACR agent: agent ID, API key, dashboard link, provider class, status. Pure identity — for "what should I do next?" call orient_me; for behavior data call any lens tool directly.

Part of the ACR — Agent Composition Records server.

get_my_agent is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_my_agent to retrieve information from ACR — Agent Composition Records without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_my_agent only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.
