AI agents call get-current-date to retrieve information from 12306 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns the current date—a read-only operation with no side effects. It fits the 'Read' category as it retrieves data without altering any state. Severity is low since misuse poses no meaningful risk (an AI agent requesting the current date cannot cause harm through this tool alone).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-current-date' and description indicate it retrieves the current date in Shanghai timezone (Asia/Shanghai, UTC+8). No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are performed.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get-current-date gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and 12306, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-current-date:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get-current-date": {}
}
}get-current-date is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the 12306 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-current-date: 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 12306. Nothing to install.
get-current-date 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-current-date 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-current-date. 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-current-date is provided by the 12306 MCP server (joooook/12306-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from 12306, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
