# get_api_collection Get a specific collection from an API Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_api_collection`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-collection ## Facts - Tool: `get_api_collection` - Server: Postman (`delano/postman-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/delano/postman-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_api_collection", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_api_collection is rated Low This tool retrieves/queries data from a Postman API collection without altering state, creating new resources, or executing external operations. The verb 'Get' combined with the lack of any language suggesting mutation, deletion, or execution places this firmly in the Read category. The severity is low because reading API metadata poses minimal risk; the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_api_collection' and description 'Get a specific collection from an API' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_api_collection to retrieve information from Postman without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Postman: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_api_collection": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Postman (97) - `delete_api` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api.md - `delete_api_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api-comment.md - `delete_api_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api-version.md - `delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection.md - `delete_collection_access_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-access-key.md - `delete_collection_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-folder.md - `delete_collection_request` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-request.md - `delete_collection_response` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-response.md - `delete_environment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-environment.md - `delete_mock` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-mock.md - `delete_monitor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-monitor.md - `delete_schema_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-schema-file.md - `delete_server_response` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-server-response.md - `remove_pan_element` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/remove-pan-element.md - `create_webhook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/create-webhook.md - `get_accounts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-accounts.md - `get_api` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api.md - `get_api_comments` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-comments.md - `get_api_schema` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-schema.md - `get_api_schema_files` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-schema-files.md - `get_api_tags` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-tags.md - `get_api_version` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-version.md - `get_api_versions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-versions.md - `get_authenticated_user` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-authenticated-user.md - `get_collection` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection.md - `get_collection_folder` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-folder.md - `get_collection_forks` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-forks.md - `get_collection_request` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-request.md - `get_collection_response` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-response.md - `get_collection_roles` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-roles.md - …and 67 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
