Get detailed information about a specific function
AI agents call get_function_details to retrieve information from FDEP MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries function metadata from a static code analysis system. It does not execute code, modify data, delete data, or perform any side effects—it only fetches information about functions. This is a classic Read operation typical of code inspection tools. Low severity because misuse would only expose information about the codebase structure without enabling harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_function_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific function' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution of the retrieved code. This is a read-only query operation on static code analysis.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific function. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FDEP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FDEP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_function_details: 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 FDEP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_function_details 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_function_details 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_function_details. 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_function_details is provided by the FDEP MCP Server MCP server (juspay/fdep-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
