Retrieve an individual report by id. A report is one verification component of a check (e.g. the document report, the facial_similarity report). Contains the detailed breakdown of sub-checks.
AI agents call retrieve_report 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 queries and returns existing verification report data by identifier. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves information for inspection or audit purposes, consistent with the AP2 server's focus on authorization and audit.
From the tool's definition Tool name is "retrieve_report" and description states it "Retrieve[s] an individual report by id" with "detailed breakdown of sub-checks." The verb "retrieve" and the retrieval operation indicate data access without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access retrieve_report 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 retrieve_report:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"retrieve_report": {}
}
}retrieve_report is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieve an individual report by id. A report is one verification component of a check (e.g. the document report, the facial_similarity report). Contains the detailed breakdown of sub-checks. 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 retrieve_report: 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.
retrieve_report 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 retrieve_report 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 retrieve_report. 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.
retrieve_report 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.
