AI agents call gsd_config_get to retrieve information from Gsd without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation on project state. Severity is low because configuration reads typically expose non-sensitive metadata or settings that an agent can view safely without causing harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gsd_config_get' and description 'Read a GSD configuration value' both indicate a retrieval-only operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read a GSD configuration value. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gsd MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gsd MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gsd_config_get: 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 Gsd. Nothing to install.
gsd_config_get 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 gsd_config_get 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 gsd_config_get. 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.
gsd_config_get is provided by the Gsd MCP server (m0-ar/gsd-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
