What get_stack does on Komodo

AI agents call get_stack to retrieve information from Komodo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_stack needs a policy

The 'get_*' prefix strongly indicates a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects. While the description is empty, the naming convention and context of being paired with other management tools (create_stack, delete_stack) suggests this retrieves stack information without modification. Classification assumes standard DevOps semantics where 'get' operations are non-destructive queries.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stack' follows the 'get_*' naming pattern, which is universally associated with retrieval operations. The tool appears designed to query or retrieve stack information from the Komodo DevOps platform.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_stack gives an agent:

How to control get_stack

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Komodo, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_stack:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_stack": {}
  }
}

get_stack is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Komodo — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on get_stack? +

Register the Komodo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_stack: 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 Komodo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_stack? +

get_stack is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_stack? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_stack 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.

How do I block get_stack completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_stack. 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.

What MCP server provides get_stack? +

get_stack is provided by the Komodo MCP server (myrikld/komodo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Komodo tool call.

Start from Komodo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
