get_last_run

Use this to retrieve the last check results for a server. Finds the most recent run artifact by target ID so you can review previous results or diff against a new run.

Part of the Mcp Observatory server.

get_last_run 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 get_last_run to retrieve information from Mcp Observatory 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_last_run 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.

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

What does the get_last_run tool do? +

Use this to retrieve the last check results for a server. Finds the most recent run artifact by target ID so you can review previous results or diff against a new run.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Observatory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_last_run? +

Register the Mcp Observatory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_last_run: 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 Observatory. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_last_run? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_last_run? +

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

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

get_last_run is provided by the Mcp Observatory MCP server (@kryptosai/mcp-observatory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Observatory tool call.
