WHAT IT DOES

What get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot does on Doit

AI agents call get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot 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
`endDate`	string	Yes	Inclusive end date (YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-04-30).
`layerId`	string	Yes	The diagram layer (statussheet) ID to get a cost snapshot for.
`interval`	string	—	Bucket granularity for the cost trend. Possible values: day, week, month (defaults to day).
`startDate`	string	Yes	Inclusive start date (YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-04-01).

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot is rated Low

Even though get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot 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_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot 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_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot, this is the rule to start with:

get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot Allowed

get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot 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_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot": {}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot

What does the get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot tool do? +

Use this when the user wants a cost snapshot for a specific cloud infrastructure diagram layer over a time period — the API-reported total, trendingPct as a percentage (25 means 25%, null when no prior value is available), the top five resources and top five services by cost, and the last twelve trend buckets. Both dates are inclusive. Requires the diagram layer ID and a startDate/endDate (YYYY-MM-DD). Do NOT use this for account-wide cost analysis (use run_query) or budgets (use list_budgets). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Doit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot accept? +

get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot accepts 4 parameters: endDate, layerId, interval, startDate. Required: endDate, layerId, startDate. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot? +

Register the Doit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot: 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.

What risk level is get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot 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_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot completely? +

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

What MCP server provides get_cloud_diagram_cost_snapshot? +
