Retrieve statistical pivot table data from a specified worksheet
AI agents call get_worksheet_pivot_data to retrieve information from HAP MCP Server 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 pivot table statistics from a worksheet, a read-only operation with no side effects. While the context includes other tools that write, delete, and execute operations, this specific tool is purely a data retrieval mechanism. Severity is low because unauthorized access to worksheet statistics, while potentially sensitive, does not result in data loss, financial harm, or code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' and description states 'Retrieve statistical pivot table data' — both indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve statistical pivot table data from a specified worksheet. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HAP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HAP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_worksheet_pivot_data: 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 HAP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_worksheet_pivot_data 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_worksheet_pivot_data 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_worksheet_pivot_data. 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_worksheet_pivot_data is provided by the HAP MCP Server MCP server (mingdaocloud/hap-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
