WHAT IT DOES

What get_workflow_session does on Meta Council

AI agents call get_workflow_session to retrieve information from Meta Council 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
`session_id`	string	Yes	The workflow session ID returned by run_workflow.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_workflow_session is rated Low

Even though get_workflow_session 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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_workflow_session safely

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

get_workflow_session Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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

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

Questions about get_workflow_session

What does the get_workflow_session tool do? +

Poll a previously started workflow run for its current step-by-step status and output (useful when run_workflow timed out or is awaiting a checkpoint). Also returns that run's definition_sha — the fingerprint of the definition it resolved when it started, comparable against the one plan_workflow reported. Requires authentication. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Meta Council MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_workflow_session accept? +

get_workflow_session accepts 1 parameter: session_id. Required: session_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_workflow_session? +

Register the Meta Council MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_workflow_session: 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 Meta Council. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_workflow_session? +

get_workflow_session is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_workflow_session? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_workflow_session 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.

How do I block get_workflow_session completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_workflow_session. 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.
