Fetch a single social profile by (platform, username). Always use this first when the user gives an exact handle on a specific platform (for example "@niickjackson on Instagram") and you need the full profile: bio, follower/engagement metrics, recent activity, growth, and the canonical creator ID...

AI agents call get_profile to retrieve information from Influship 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 get_profile 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 get_profile gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Fetch a single social profile by (platform, username). Always use this first when the user gives an exact handle on a specific platform (for example "@niickjackson on Instagram") and you need the full profile: bio, follower/engagement metrics, recent activity, growth, and the canonical creator ID. Pass exactly the username they typed without the @ sign — case-insensitive matching is handled server-side. Do not use search_creators for an exact platform+username lookup. Examples: - User: "Pull @niickjackson on Instagram" -> use this tool with platform "instagram" and username "niickjackson". - User: "Tell me about instagram.com/niickjackson" -> parse the platform and username, then use this tool. - User: "Is @niickjackson a fit for Pixel?" -> use this tool first, then call get_posts and/or match_creators if the task needs content or fit analysis. Returns the profile record plus the underlying creator record. If you already have a creator UUID, use get_creator instead. For batch lookups by handle, use lookup_profiles.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Influship MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Influship MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_profile: 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 Influship. Nothing to install.
get_profile 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_profile 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_profile. 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_profile is provided by the Influship MCP server (@influship/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
