AI agents call get_program_element to retrieve information from Eduframe without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves program element information from the Eduframe system. As a 'get' operation, it performs a read-only query with no data modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations. The minimal blast radius from misuse (unauthorized data access) places it in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_program_element' with description 'Get an element' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'get' and context of an Eduframe API server focused on resource management suggests a query/fetch action that retrieves data without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get an element. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Eduframe MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Eduframe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_program_element: 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 Eduframe. Nothing to install.
get_program_element 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_program_element 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_program_element. 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_program_element is provided by the Eduframe MCP server (martijnpieters/eduframe-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
