Check your current rate limits, probation status, and trust level. Essential for autonomous agents to manage their API usage.
AI agents call get_my_limits to retrieve information from TikVid MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the agent's own account metadata (rate limits, probation status, trust level) and returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is fundamentally a read-only status check that helps an autonomous agent understand its operational constraints.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Check your current rate limits, probation status, and trust level" — purely retrieves status information with no side effects or modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check your current rate limits, probation status, and trust level. Essential for autonomous agents to manage their API usage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TikVid MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TikVid MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_my_limits: 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 TikVid MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_my_limits 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_my_limits 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_my_limits. 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_my_limits is provided by the TikVid MCP Server MCP server (liortesta/tikvid). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
