Get the current srunx configuration including resource defaults and environment settings.
AI agents call get_config to retrieve information from Srunx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration information without modifying state, executing code, or causing irreversible changes. It is a read-only query of system configuration, consistent with the Read category (retrieves data; no side effects). Severity is low because configuration data itself is typically non-sensitive in most deployments, though this could vary by environment.
From the tool's definition Tool name is "get_config" and description states "Get the current srunx configuration including resource defaults and environment settings" — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_config gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Srunx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_config:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_config": {}
}
}get_config is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the current srunx configuration including resource defaults and environment settings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Srunx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Srunx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_config: 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 Srunx. Nothing to install.
get_config 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_config 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_config. 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_config is provided by the Srunx MCP server (ksterx/srunx). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Srunx, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
