List all hold objects given a name
AI agents call get_holds_by_name to retrieve information from IBM Content Services 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 and lists hold objects based on a name filter. It performs a read-only query against the content management system with no side effects, no data modification, and no resource deletion. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only enumerate holds they query for, not escalate to data destruction or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_holds_by_name' and description 'List all hold objects given a name' indicate a query operation that retrieves hold metadata without modifying or deleting data.

Register the IBM Content Services MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_holds_by_name: 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 IBM Content Services MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_holds_by_name 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_holds_by_name 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_holds_by_name. 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_holds_by_name is provided by the IBM Content Services MCP Server MCP server (mohamedarif-m/filenet-mcp-localfile). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
