Get one MYOB record by entity and UID. layout is needed for some invoice/bill/order details.
AI agents call myob_entity_get to retrieve information from MYOB Codex MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a single MYOB entity record by identifier. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of operations. The layout parameter is a display/formatting option for presentation, not a data-altering operation. Read-only tools with no side effects pose minimal risk; misuse would only expose existing data already accessible to an authenticated user.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get one MYOB record' and the server description emphasizes 'read-only tools by default'. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any mutation or side-effect language confirms retrieval-only functionality.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get one MYOB record by entity and UID. layout is needed for some invoice/bill/order details. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MYOB Codex MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MYOB Codex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for myob_entity_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 MYOB Codex MCP. Nothing to install.
myob_entity_get 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 myob_entity_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for myob_entity_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.
myob_entity_get is provided by the MYOB Codex MCP server (jaeko44/myob-codex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
