AI agents call get_me to retrieve information from Groupme without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that fetches the authenticated user's own profile information. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. It falls squarely into the Read category with low severity since it only exposes information about the calling user themselves, which is already authenticated and authorized to view their own profile.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_me' and description 'Get the authenticated user's profile information' indicates a retrieval operation that queries user profile data without modifying or executing any actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the authenticated user's profile information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Groupme MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Groupme MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_me: 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 Groupme. Nothing to install.
get_me 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_me 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_me. 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_me is provided by the Groupme MCP server (kalebjs/groupme-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
