AI agents call mindswap_get_context to retrieve information from Mindswap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries stored context data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It has no side effects beyond returning information to the user. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk—an AI agent cannot cause harm by querying project context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mindswap_get_context' and description 'Get complete project context' indicates retrieval only. Returns read-only information: 'project info, current task, recent decisions, what' with no mention of modifications, deletions, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get complete project context for this coding session. Call this FIRST when starting work on a project. Returns: project info, current task, recent decisions, what. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mindswap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mindswap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mindswap_get_context: 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 Mindswap. Nothing to install.
mindswap_get_context 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 mindswap_get_context 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 mindswap_get_context. 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.
mindswap_get_context is provided by the Mindswap MCP server (mindswap). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
