Fetch the authenticated student's profile information and USOS number.
AI agents call get_user_profile to retrieve information from Ekursy Mcp Py without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves student profile data and USOS numbers without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a Read operation. Severity is medium rather than low because unauthorized access to authenticated student profiles could expose personally identifiable information (names, student IDs, contact details), which has moderate privacy and security implications in an educational context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_profile' and description 'Fetch the authenticated student's profile information' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification. The action verb 'Fetch' is purely data-retrieval.

Fetch the authenticated student's profile information and USOS number. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ekursy Mcp Py MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ekursy Mcp Py MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_profile: 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 Ekursy Mcp Py. Nothing to install.
get_user_profile 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_user_profile 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_user_profile. 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_user_profile is provided by the Ekursy Mcp Py MCP server (markrz-0/ekursy-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
