AI agents call get_platform_info to retrieve information from IOX Cloud without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries platform metadata (architecture, regions, pricing, runtimes) without side effects. It falls squarely into the Read category. Severity is low because exposing platform information carries minimal risk—it provides data that is typically public or non-sensitive infrastructure details. Confidence is high because the description is explicit and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get information about the IOX Cloud platform — architecture, regions, pricing, supported runtimes.' This is purely informational retrieval with no modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the IOX Cloud platform — architecture, regions, pricing, supported runtimes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IOX Cloud MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IOX Cloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_platform_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 IOX Cloud. Nothing to install.
get_platform_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_platform_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_platform_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.
get_platform_info is provided by the IOX Cloud MCP server (meruada/iox-cloud-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_platform_info is one line of IOX Cloud's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
