Get the ancestry path from root to a specific tile, showing where it sits in the hierarchy
AI agents call get_tile_path to retrieve information from Tiling Trees MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves hierarchical structure information about an existing tile within the research tree. It performs a read-only query to return ancestry/path data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'Get' combined with the informational nature of the output (showing position in hierarchy) confirms this is a Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tile_path' and description 'Get the ancestry path from root to a specific tile, showing where it sits in the hierarchy' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no data modification.

Get the ancestry path from root to a specific tile, showing where it sits in the hierarchy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_tile_path: 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 Tiling Trees MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_tile_path 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_tile_path 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_tile_path. 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_tile_path is provided by the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP server (k-chrispens/tiling-trees-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
