What get_request does on Proxypin

AI agents call get_request to retrieve information from Proxypin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_request needs a policy

This is a read operation that retrieves captured HTTP traffic data. However, severity is elevated to medium because the response body content could include sensitive data (API keys, credentials, PII, tokens) that an AI agent could expose or misuse if the captured traffic contains secrets. The tool itself performs no side effects, but the data it exposes carries risk depending on what was captured by ProxyPin.

From the tool's definition Tool returns 'complete request and response details' and 'full HAR entry including: request headers, request body, response headers, response body'. No modification, deletion, or execution described.

How do I enforce a policy on get_request? +

Register the Proxypin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_request: 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 Proxypin. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_request? +

Can I rate-limit get_request? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_request 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.

How do I block get_request completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_request. 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.
