WHAT IT DOES

What get_workflow does on Automagik Tools

AI agents call get_workflow to retrieve information from Automagik Tools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

This tool retrieves and queries workflow metadata without any side effects. It follows the Read category pattern (get, fetch, retrieve) and poses minimal risk if misused by an agent, as it only returns information about existing workflows without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting anything.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_workflow' and description states 'Get detailed information about a specific workflow' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_workflow safely

get_workflow Allowed

get_workflow is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_workflow": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Automagik Tools, apply this rule, and every get_workflow call is checked against it from then on.
