Get a specific record by ID
AI agents call get_record to retrieve information from MCP Template without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a single record by its identifier without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access would be limited to viewing existing data, and the high confidence is based on clear, unambiguous language in both the tool name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_record' and description 'Get a specific record by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific record by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Template MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Template MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_record: 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 MCP Template. Nothing to install.
get_record 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_record 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_record. 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_record is provided by the MCP Template MCP server (kbhuw/mcp_template). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_record is one line of MCP Template's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
