AI agents call get_seller to retrieve information from Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments 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_seller 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_seller only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_seller tool do? +

Retrieve a seller's public profile: name, location (city/region/country), storefront URL, delivery fee, delivery coverage, and catalog size. Call this before create_cart or set_shipping_address to validate that the seller ships to the buyer's area or to set expectations about catalog size. delivery_coverage is { states, cities } — the US state codes (e.g. 'CA', 'NE') and city names the seller delivers to; an address is eligible when its region matches a covered state OR its city matches a covered city. delivery_fee_cents is the flat fee added at checkout; catalog_size is the total number of products listed. delivery_zones (legacy postal-code list) is still returned for backward compatibility but new agents should read delivery_coverage. For network (cross-seller) tokens, pass handle to name which seller you're asking about (e.g. handle: 'bay-clothing-district'). Handle lookup is case-insensitive — 'BayClothingDistrict' and 'bayclothingdistrict' both resolve. Seller-scoped tokens may omit handle — their own seller is implicit.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_seller? +

Register the Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_seller: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval.

What risk level is get_seller? +

How do I block get_seller completely? +

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