Get a single active user by UUID at an organisational level (IAM v1).
AI agents call get_iam_user 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 retrieves user information from the IAM system without modifying, executing operations, or causing destructive effects. It is a query operation that returns existing data based on a UUID parameter. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—returning user metadata poses no immediate operational or financial risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_iam_user' and description 'Get a single active user by UUID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and context of querying user data by identifier are consistent with Read category.

Get a single active user by UUID at an organisational level (IAM v1). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_iam_user: 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_iam_user 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_iam_user 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_iam_user. 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_iam_user is provided by the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server (mnmozi/dynatrace-mcp-saas). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
