WHAT IT DOES

What get_quiz_info does on Moodle

AI agents call get_quiz_info to retrieve information from Moodle 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
`quizId`	integer	Yes	The quiz's id (course module id), as get_course_structure gives it

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_quiz_info is rated Low

Even though get_quiz_info 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_quiz_info safely

get_quiz_info Allowed

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

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

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

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