What raw_get does on Mcp Control Plane
AI agents call raw_get 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.
Why raw_get is rated Low
GET requests retrieve data without side effects. However, severity is elevated to medium (rather than low) because 'raw authenticated' access to an arbitrary API endpoint could potentially expose sensitive configuration, credentials, or internal system state depending on what /api/ endpoints are available. The lack of further input validation detail creates risk if the control plane exposes privileged information.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Run a raw authenticated GET against /api' — GET is explicitly a read-only HTTP method. Path restriction to /api/ scope is noted.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs raw_get 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 raw_get, this is the rule to start with:
raw_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every raw_get call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about raw_get
Run a raw authenticated GET against /api. Path must start with /api/. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for raw_get: 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 Mcp Control Plane. Nothing to install.
raw_get 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 raw_get 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 raw_get. 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.
raw_get is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
