request_tokens
[Account Management API 2] Requests an access token, an ID token and, optionally, a refresh token. To additionally request a refresh token, refer to [OpenID Connect Core 1.0 Section 11](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#rfc.section.11).

What request_tokens does on Acronis Platform
AI agents call request_tokens to retrieve information from Acronis Platform 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
body | string | — | Request body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) |
headers | object | — | Request headers |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why request_tokens is rated Low
Even though request_tokens 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.

The rule that runs request_tokens safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Acronis Platform, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For request_tokens, this is the rule to start with:
request_tokens 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 Acronis Platform, apply this rule, and every request_tokens call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about request_tokens
[Account Management API 2] Requests an access token, an ID token and, optionally, a refresh token. To additionally request a refresh token, refer to [OpenID Connect Core 1.0 Section 11](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#rfc.section.11). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Acronis Platform MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
request_tokens accepts 2 parameters: body, headers. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Acronis Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for request_tokens: 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 Acronis Platform. Nothing to install.
request_tokens 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 request_tokens 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 request_tokens. 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.
request_tokens is provided by the Acronis Platform MCP server (@acronis-platform/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
