get_history
AI agents call get_history to retrieve information from Keshro MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name strongly suggests querying or fetching historical records (typical Read operation pattern). No description is available to suggest side effects, modifications, or destructive capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_history' indicates retrieval of historical data with no description provided. Based on naming convention and context within a project management/execution layer, this retrieves past records without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_history. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keshro MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keshro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_history: 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 Keshro MCP. Nothing to install.
get_history 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_history 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_history. 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_history is provided by the Keshro MCP server (jlewitt1/keshro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
