WHAT IT DOES

What get_workspace does on Portkey Admin

AI agents call get_workspace to retrieve information from Portkey Admin 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_workspace is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns existing data about a workspace without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects beyond querying information. The potential sensitivity of membership data justifies 'low' severity rather than lower, as the blast radius of unauthorized access to this data would be limited in scope compared to write/execute/destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it returns workspace details, defaults, and member list. The verb 'get' and phrase 'return its full details' indicate data retrieval with no modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_workspace safely

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

get_workspace Allowed

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_workspace": {}
  }
}

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

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