WHAT IT DOES

What get_source_context does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call get_source_context to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_source_context is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries documents and context from a source without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It fits the Read category definition of data retrieval with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only access information, not alter or destroy it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_source_context' and description 'Return latest documents for one source' indicate retrieval of data with no modification or side effects. The phrase 'Return latest documents' clearly denotes a read-only query operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_source_context safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_source_context, this is the rule to start with:

get_source_context Allowed

get_source_context is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every get_source_context call is checked against it from then on.
