Get the list of releases in Plan for a given application
AI agents call get_releases to retrieve information from MCP DevOps Plan Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of releases for a specified application. It performs no create, update, delete, or execution operations. The action is purely informational retrieval, which is characteristic of the Read category. The low severity reflects that querying release information poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_releases' and description 'Get the list of releases in Plan for a given application' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the list of releases in Plan for a given application. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP DevOps Plan Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP DevOps Plan Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_releases: 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 MCP DevOps Plan Server. Nothing to install.
get_releases 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_releases 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_releases. 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_releases is provided by the MCP DevOps Plan Server MCP server (mrchris2000/mcp-devops-plan). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_releases is one line of MCP DevOps Plan Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
