Get a single custom service definition by technology and ID (classic Config API v1, read-only).
AI agents call get_custom_service to retrieve information from Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a straightforward data retrieval operation against a custom service definition using technology and ID parameters. The explicit 'read-only' designation confirms no side effects or state changes occur. The blast radius of querying Dynatrace service configuration is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by reading existing service definitions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'read-only' and 'Get a single custom service definition', which retrieves existing configuration data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_custom_service: 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 Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_custom_service 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_custom_service 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_custom_service. 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.
