Get detailed information for a specific Maximo user. Requires manager role.
AI agents call get_user to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves user data without side effects. However, severity is elevated from 'low' to 'medium' because user information in enterprise systems (roles, contact details, permissions) is sensitive; unauthorized disclosure could enable social engineering, impersonation, or privilege escalation attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get[s] detailed information for a specific Maximo user' with no modification, creation, or deletion of data. The 'Get' verb and 'detailed information' retrieval confirm read-only semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information for a specific Maximo user. Requires manager role. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximo Enterprise MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maximo Enterprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user: 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 Maximo Enterprise MCP. Nothing to install.
get_user 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 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. 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 is provided by the Maximo Enterprise MCP server (maximo-enterprise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
