Get statistics about the cache.
AI agents call get_cache_stats to retrieve information from Basecamp 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 and reports statistics about an internal cache system. It performs no data modification, deletion, external execution, or financial operations. The action is purely informational and read-only, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cache_stats' and description 'Get statistics about the cache' indicate a retrieval operation that queries cache metadata without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get statistics about the cache. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Basecamp MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Basecamp MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cache_stats: 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 Basecamp MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_cache_stats 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_cache_stats 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_cache_stats. 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_cache_stats is provided by the Basecamp MCP Server MCP server (kbhalerao/basecamp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_cache_stats is one line of Basecamp MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
