Use when you need full metadata for a SINGLE artwork (e.g. after a search_artwork / semantic_search / find_similar result, or when the user names a specific objectNumber).
AI agents call get_artwork_details to retrieve information from Rijksmuseum Mcp+ without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns artwork metadata without modifying, deleting, executing external code, or performing financial transactions. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation on a museum collection database. The low severity reflects that misuse poses no risk to data integrity, system state, or financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it retrieves 'full metadata for a SINGLE artwork' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_artwork_details gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Rijksmuseum Mcp+, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_artwork_details:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_artwork_details": {}
}
} get_artwork_details is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
