AI agents call x_get_me to retrieve information from X 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 creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any action. It has no side effects and presents minimal security risk—at most, it exposes the authenticated user's own profile metadata. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure of non-sensitive account details the user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'x_get_me' and described as 'Get the authenticated user's profile information.' The verb 'Get' and the passive retrieval of profile data with no modification capability indicate a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the authenticated user's profile information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the X MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the X MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for x_get_me: 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 X. Nothing to install.
x_get_me 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 x_get_me 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 x_get_me. 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.
x_get_me is provided by the X MCP server (mindmadelab/x-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
