AI agents call iac_mcp_get_properties_batch to retrieve information from Iac without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only property retrieval from existing macOS application objects. It has no side effects—it merely queries and returns data about UI elements or application state. The batch optimization does not change its fundamental nature as a retrieval operation. Blast radius is minimal since reading properties cannot alter system state, delete data, move money, or trigger unintended actions.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves properties from multiple referenced objects in batch; described as reducing N separate get_properties calls to 1.

Get properties for multiple referenced objects in a single batch call. Reduces N separate get_properties calls to 1. Usage: 1. Obtain multiple references (e.g., from get_properties returning reference lists, or from get_elements) 2. Pass all reference IDs to this tool 3. Receive all properties in one response Examples: Get subjects of selected messages: - references: [. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Iac MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Iac MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for iac_mcp_get_properties_batch: 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 Iac. Nothing to install.
iac_mcp_get_properties_batch 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 iac_mcp_get_properties_batch 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 iac_mcp_get_properties_batch. 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.
iac_mcp_get_properties_batch is provided by the Iac MCP server (jsavin/iac-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
