cache_get

What cache_get does on Ncp

AI agents call cache_get to retrieve information from Ncp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why cache_get is rated Low

This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation from a cache store with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal - an attacker could only read cached data that may already be accessible through other means, posing no risk to data integrity, system execution, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition 'Retrieve data from Memcached' - the verb 'Retrieve' and the function name 'cache_get' both indicate a read-only operation that queries cached data without modification.

The rule that runs cache_get safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ncp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cache_get, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cache_get": {}
  }
}
