AI agents call get_app_readme to retrieve information from Myvtp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns existing documentation for an app—a pure read operation with no data modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse, as reading documentation cannot cause harm regardless of argument manipulation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_app_readme' and description 'Get the readme/documentation for a deployed app' clearly indicate a retrieval operation. It returns documentation/readme content with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the readme/documentation for a deployed app. Returns the app. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Myvtp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Myvtp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_app_readme: 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 Myvtp. Nothing to install.
get_app_readme 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_app_readme 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_app_readme. 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_app_readme is provided by the Myvtp MCP server (myvtp/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_app_readme is one line of Myvtp's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
