Get summary of all workspaces with saved context, including message counts and last activity.
AI agents call get_workspace_summary to retrieve information from Context Persistence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves aggregated summary information (message counts, last activity timestamps) about workspaces from the SQLite persistence layer. It performs no side effects, makes no modifications, executes no code, and deletes nothing. The operation is purely informational and read-only, fitting the 'Read' category for safe data queries.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_workspace_summary' and description 'Get summary of all workspaces with saved context, including message counts and last activity' indicate a retrieval operation that queries stored conversation metadata without modifying or deleting data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get summary of all workspaces with saved context, including message counts and last activity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Context Persistence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Context Persistence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_workspace_summary: 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 Context Persistence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_workspace_summary 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_workspace_summary 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_workspace_summary. 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_workspace_summary is provided by the Context Persistence MCP Server MCP server (jayasimhag1reddy/context-persistance). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
