Get detailed inspection data for an interactive OpenROAD session.
AI agents call inspect_interactive_session to retrieve information from Openroad 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 inspection data from an existing OpenROAD session. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify or delete data, and does not commit financial obligations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'inspect' and description states 'Get detailed inspection data' — both indicate retrieval without modification. The verb 'get' and 'inspect' confirm this is a read-only operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access inspect_interactive_session gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Openroad, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for inspect_interactive_session:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"inspect_interactive_session": {}
}
}inspect_interactive_session is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get detailed inspection data for an interactive OpenROAD session. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openroad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Openroad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect_interactive_session: 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 Openroad. Nothing to install.
inspect_interactive_session 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 inspect_interactive_session 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 inspect_interactive_session. 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.
inspect_interactive_session is provided by the Openroad MCP server (the-openroad-project/openroad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Openroad, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
