AI agents call get_cve_detail to retrieve information from UnClick without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cve_id | string | Yes | e.g. CVE-2023-12345 |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves and returns existing CVE vulnerability information based on an ID parameter. It performs a read-only lookup with no side effects, data modification, execution of code, destructive operations, or financial impact. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—returning vulnerability details poses no direct harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cve_detail' and description 'Get details for a specific CVE by ID' indicate a retrieval operation that queries CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database information without modifying data.

get_cve_detail accepts 1 parameter: cve_id. Required: cve_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the UnClick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cve_detail: 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 UnClick. Nothing to install.
get_cve_detail 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_cve_detail 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_cve_detail. 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.
