AI agents call ideas_get to retrieve information from DevFlow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and presents curated data (open intents, stale ADRs, orphan pages, contradictions, hotspot topics) from existing sources. It performs information retrieval and curation with no side effects, state changes, or irreversible actions. It prepares data for downstream use but does not create or modify that data itself. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool aggregates and retrieves idea sources from wiki: 'aggregates 5 organic idea sources from the wiki into one curated pipeline', 'Each item has a prefilledSummary + prefilledDescription ready to feed into flow_create'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
DF-315 — Idea-Backlog: aggregates 5 organic idea sources from the wiki into one curated pipeline: - Open intents (forward-deferred topics from past flows) - Stale ADRs (>90d old, still cited — refresh candidates) - Orphan pages (no in/out wiki-links — reconnect candidates) - Contradictions (deprecated/superseded ADRs still cited — refactor candidates) - Hotspot topics (resolved 2+ times across flows — strategic-review candidates) Each item has a prefilledSummary + prefilledDescription ready to feed into flow_create. Use this to pick the next thing to work on without staring at a blank page — the wiki itself is the idea backlog. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DevFlow MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ideas_get: 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 DevFlow MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ideas_get 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 ideas_get 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 ideas_get. 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.
ideas_get is provided by the DevFlow MCP Server MCP server (klausfreiberufler/devflow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
