AI agents call item_details to retrieve information from 1stDibs 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 item_details 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.

Get details on a specific item on 1stDibs. You'll need to input the item ID. You can search for an item or browse for an item to find an item ID.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the 1stDibs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the 1stDibs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for item_details: 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 1stDibs. Nothing to install.
item_details 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 item_details 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 item_details. 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.
item_details is provided by the 1stDibs MCP server (https://www.1stdibs.com/soa/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
