protocol_get

Get the full details of a protocol by its ID or slug. Returns dosing tables, mechanism steps, safety considerations, citations, and all enriched data.

Part of the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence server.

protocol_get is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call protocol_get to retrieve information from Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though protocol_get only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access protocol_get gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so protocol_get only ever does what you allow.

What does the protocol_get tool do? +

Get the full details of a protocol by its ID or slug. Returns dosing tables, mechanism steps, safety considerations, citations, and all enriched data.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on protocol_get? +

Register the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for protocol_get: 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 Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence. Nothing to install.

What risk level is protocol_get? +

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

Can I rate-limit protocol_get? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the protocol_get 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 protocol_get completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for protocol_get. 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 protocol_get? +

protocol_get is provided by the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP server (https://mcp.hormonaly.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence tool call.
