Metadata for one Statbel view by its id (a UUID, e.g. from list_views). Returns the view object: name, locale, dataSourceId (the underlying dataset), and publish/change dates. To get the dataset description in all available languages, pass the returned dataSourceId to get_dataset.

AI agents call get_view to retrieve information from Statbel Be 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_view 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_view 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.
Metadata for one Statbel view by its id (a UUID, e.g. from list_views). Returns the view object: name, locale, dataSourceId (the underlying dataset), and publish/change dates. To get the dataset description in all available languages, pass the returned dataSourceId to get_dataset.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Statbel Be MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Statbel Be MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_view: 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 Statbel Be. Nothing to install.
get_view 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_view 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_view. 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_view is provided by the Statbel Be MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/statbel-be/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
