AI agents call get_glossary to retrieve information from Lara without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. It queries and returns glossary data based on an ID parameter. The worst-case misuse would be unauthorized access to glossary information, which constitutes a low-severity read risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieves a specific glossary by ID' and 'Returns null if the glossary is not found.' The verb 'retrieves' and the read-only nature of querying a glossary by ID indicate no data modification or side effects.

get_glossary 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_glossary 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.
