Get product by ID, EAN, Reference ID, or SKU
AI agents call vtex_get_product_by_identifier to retrieve information from MCP VTEX 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 retrieves product information based on various identifiers. It performs a read-only lookup operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes to data or external systems. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only returns product catalog data without triggering financial transactions or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_product' and description explicitly states 'Get product by ID, EAN, Reference ID, or SKU' — purely a retrieval operation with no side effects or data modification.

Register the MCP VTEX Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vtex_get_product_by_identifier: 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 MCP VTEX Server. Nothing to install.
vtex_get_product_by_identifier 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 vtex_get_product_by_identifier 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 vtex_get_product_by_identifier. 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.
vtex_get_product_by_identifier is provided by the MCP VTEX Server MCP server (leosepulveda/mcp-vtex). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
