What get_started does on Kiln
AI agents call get_started as a supporting operation in Kiln workflows.
Why get_started is rated Low
The description is empty and the name alone ('get_started') is ambiguous — it could be an onboarding/informational tool with no significant side effects. Without any description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other with low severity given the benign-sounding name and lack of evidence of destructive, financial, or execute-level behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_started' with an empty description. No actionable information about what this tool does.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_started safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kiln, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_started, this is the rule to start with:
get_started gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Kiln, apply this rule, and every get_started call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_started 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.
