Get workspace details
AI agents call workspace_get to retrieve information from Anythingllm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves workspace configuration or metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation consistent with Read category tools like 'list' and 'get'. Severity is low because accessing workspace details poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'workspace_get' and description 'Get workspace details' indicate retrieval of workspace information with no modification or execution. The verb 'Get' confirms read-only access pattern.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get workspace details. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Anythingllm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Anythingllm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for workspace_get: 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 Anythingllm. Nothing to install.
workspace_get 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 workspace_get 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 workspace_get. 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.
workspace_get is provided by the Anythingllm MCP server (moliver28/anythingllm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
