Fetch a single document by name.
AI agents call get_document to retrieve information from ERPNext 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 data from the ERPNext system without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward query operation that matches the 'Read' category definition. Severity is low because data retrieval alone poses minimal risk unless sensitive data exposure is a concern in the specific deployment context, but the tool itself performs no destructive or harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_document' and description 'Fetch a single document by name' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch a single document by name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ERPNext MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ERPNext MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_document: 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 ERPNext MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_document 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_document 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_document. 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_document is provided by the ERPNext MCP Server MCP server (musab1khan/erpnext-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
