AI agents call get_user_info to retrieve information from Mcp Gitee without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves user profile information without modifying, executing, deleting, or creating any data. It is a straightforward read operation that queries the identity of the authenticated user, consistent with the Read category for data retrieval tools.

Register the Mcp Gitee MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_info: 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 Gitee. Nothing to install.
get_user_info 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_info 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_info. 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.
