Get cart contents, item totals, taxes, and shipping estimates
AI agents call get_cart to retrieve information from Mcp Ap2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves cart data (contents, totals, taxes, shipping) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing financial transactions. It is purely informational and read-only, presenting no risk of unintended financial commitments or data destruction if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cart' and description 'Get cart contents, item totals, taxes, and shipping estimates' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of transactions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_cart gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_cart:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_cart": {}
}
} get_cart is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get cart contents, item totals, taxes, and shipping estimates. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cart: 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 Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
get_cart 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_cart 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_cart. 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_cart is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
