get_output
AI agents call get_output to retrieve information from Ai Mcp Terminal without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'get_output' strongly indicates a read operation that retrieves terminal output from a previously executed command. The empty description prevents higher confidence, but the naming pattern and context of a terminal management server (where output retrieval is a fundamental read operation) supports classification as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_output' combined with server context describing 'terminal management' suggests retrieval of command output without modification. No destructive, financial, or execution keywords present.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_output. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_output: 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 Ai Mcp Terminal. Nothing to install.
get_output 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_output 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_output. 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_output is provided by the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP server (kanniganfan/ai-mcp-terminal). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
