AI agents call get-media-configuration to retrieve information from Mcp Dev without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves media configuration settings from the Umbraco instance. The verb 'get' and absence of any modifying language ('create', 'update', 'delete', 'execute') clearly indicate a read-only operation. Accessing configuration data poses minimal risk—it returns system settings without triggering external operations, financial actions, or data destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-media-configuration' and description 'Gets the media configuration' indicate retrieval of configuration data with no modification or side effects.

get-media-configuration 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-media-configuration 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.
