Get comprehensive server information including version, capabilities, and runtime status
AI agents call get_server_info to retrieve information from Agent Communication MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about the server's state, version, and capabilities. It performs no data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial operations. The action is read-only and informational in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity since server metadata exposure has minimal impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_server_info' and description 'Get comprehensive server information including version, capabilities, and runtime status' indicate retrieval of metadata about the server with no modification or side effects.

Register the Agent Communication MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_server_info: 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 Agent Communication MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_server_info 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_server_info 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_server_info. 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_server_info is provided by the Agent Communication MCP Server MCP server (jerfowler/agent-comm-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
