config_get

Get configuration value Use when native settings.json edits are wrong because the values need to be read by the Ruflo runtime (daemon, MCP server, neural router) — those load via the config_* path, not by re-reading settings.json. For .gitignore / .editorconfig style files, native Edit is fine.

WHAT IT DOES

What config_get does on Claude Flow

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

RISK

Why config_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves configuration values from the Ruflo runtime without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a pure read operation that queries existing settings. The low severity reflects that configuration retrieval alone poses minimal risk—configuration values themselves are typically non-sensitive in enterprise contexts, and reading them has no side effects or destructive capability.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'config_get' with description stating 'Get configuration value'. The verb 'Get' and the retrieval-only purpose indicate data querying without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs config_get safely

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

config_get Allowed

config_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Flow, apply this rule, and every config_get call is checked against it from then on.

What does the config_get tool do? +

How do I enforce a policy on config_get? +

Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for config_get: 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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is config_get? +

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

Can I rate-limit config_get? +

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

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