Get a single property unit by ID, including current tenants.
AI agents call get_unit to retrieve information from Lanten MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data about a property unit without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that fetches existing information. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent could only retrieve unit information, not alter or delete it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_unit' and description 'Get a single property unit by ID, including current tenants' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a single property unit by ID, including current tenants. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lanten MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Lanten MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_unit: 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 Lanten MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_unit 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_unit 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_unit. 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_unit is provided by the Lanten MCP Server MCP server (lanten-ai/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
