Get the LaunchFrame cron job pattern: where jobs live, available CronExpression presets, and module registration rules.
AI agents call cron_get_pattern to retrieve information from LaunchFrame MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only tool that queries and retrieves architectural documentation and configuration patterns for cron jobs in LaunchFrame projects. It has no side effects, does not execute jobs, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. The action is purely informational retrieval of implementation details and scaffolding knowledge.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get the LaunchFrame cron job pattern' — retrieves architectural knowledge about where jobs live, available presets, and registration rules with no modification or execution of actual cron jobs.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the LaunchFrame cron job pattern: where jobs live, available CronExpression presets, and module registration rules. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LaunchFrame MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LaunchFrame MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cron_get_pattern: 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 LaunchFrame MCP. Nothing to install.
cron_get_pattern 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 cron_get_pattern 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 cron_get_pattern. 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.
cron_get_pattern is provided by the LaunchFrame MCP server (launchframe-dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
