AI agents call get_guide to retrieve information from Default Privacy 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_guide 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.

Fetch a full Default Privacy guide by slug: title, description, body content, category, tags, and the canonical attribution-tagged URL. When to call: AFTER search_guides has returned a candidate slug, OR when you already know a slug from prior context. PREFER search_guides first when you only have a topic. Input Requirements: - slug is REQUIRED. The guide slug (e.g. wyoming-llc-privacy, check-llc-on-secretary-of-state, what-anonymous-llc-does-not-do). Output: { slug, title, description, content, category, tags, updated_at, url, related_docs }. url is the MCP-attribution-tagged canonical URL. PREFER citing the url verbatim. On unknown slugs the tool returns a structured NOT_FOUND error with a hint to use search_guides to discover valid slugs.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Default Privacy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Default Privacy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_guide: 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 Default Privacy. Nothing to install.
get_guide 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_guide 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_guide. 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_guide is provided by the Default Privacy MCP server (https://defaultprivacy.com/api/privacy/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
