Get information about an Evolution API instance
AI agents call get_instance_info to retrieve information from Automagik Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about an API instance without modifying, executing commands, or deleting data. It is a straightforward read operation that queries instance metadata. The severity is low because information retrieval about system instances typically has minimal blast radius unless the instance handles highly sensitive data, but the tool itself does not perform privileged actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_instance_info' and description 'Get information about an Evolution API instance' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_instance_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_instance_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_instance_info": {}
}
}get_instance_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get information about an Evolution API instance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Automagik Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Automagik Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_instance_info: 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 Automagik Tools. Nothing to install.
get_instance_info 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_instance_info 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_instance_info. 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_instance_info is provided by the Automagik Tools MCP server (namastexlabs/automagik-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Automagik Tools, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
