Get the full configuration of a specific agent, including identity (tone, language, objective, customInstructions), stages, and enabled tools.
AI agents call get_agent to retrieve information from BotUyo 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 and returns existing agent configuration data (identity, stages, tools) without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read/retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent' combined with description stating it retrieves 'the full configuration of a specific agent' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the full configuration of a specific agent, including identity (tone, language, objective, customInstructions), stages, and enabled tools. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BotUyo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_agent: 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 BotUyo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_agent 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_agent 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_agent. 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_agent is provided by the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server (marcoar1/botuyo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
