Get detailed info for a specific ASHRAE baseline system type (1-10).
AI agents call get_baseline_system_info to retrieve information from Openstudio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about predefined ASHRAE baseline system types—standardized reference configurations used in building energy modeling. It queries existing reference data without side effects, side-effect free retrieval, no state changes to models or simulations, and no execution of code or commands. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_baseline_system_info' and description 'Get detailed info for a specific ASHRAE baseline system type' indicate retrieval of reference information about HVAC system configurations with no modification, creation, or execution of simulations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_baseline_system_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Openstudio, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_baseline_system_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_baseline_system_info": {}
}
}get_baseline_system_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get detailed info for a specific ASHRAE baseline system type (1-10). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openstudio MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Openstudio MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_baseline_system_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 Openstudio. Nothing to install.
get_baseline_system_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_baseline_system_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_baseline_system_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_baseline_system_info is provided by the Openstudio MCP server (natlabrockies/openstudio-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Openstudio, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
