Get a single product by ID
AI agents call get_product to retrieve information from FakeStore MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves product information by ID without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that queries product data. No side effects or state changes result from its use. It poses minimal security risk as it only provides access to existing product catalog information.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_product 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_product. 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.
