What get_async_operation does on Doit
AI agents call get_async_operation to retrieve information from Doit 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
operationId | string | Yes | |
customerContext | string | — | Scope the request to a specific customer by ID. Required for DoiT employees (whose token isn't tied to a single customer); omit for direct customer users. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_async_operation is rated Low
Even though get_async_operation 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
The rule that runs get_async_operation safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Doit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_async_operation, this is the rule to start with:
get_async_operation is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Doit, apply this rule, and every get_async_operation call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_async_operation
Manage Cloud Analytics reports and get reports data in JSON format. Returns the current status of an async report operation. Non-terminal operations (pending, running) include a Retry-After header suggesting when to poll again. This endpoint does not return result data — once status is "succeeded", fetch the result from the operation's results endpoint. When status is "failed", the error field contains an RFC 9457-shaped error. Returns 404 if the operationId does not exist, belongs to a different tenant, or has expired. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Doit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_async_operation accepts 2 parameters: operationId, customerContext. Required: operationId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Doit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_async_operation: 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 Doit. Nothing to install.
get_async_operation 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_async_operation 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_async_operation. 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_async_operation is provided by the Doit MCP server (@doitintl/doit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
