Fetch a single product details using its unique ID
AI agents call get-product-by-id to retrieve information from MCP Server 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 data about a product without creating, modifying, deleting, executing, or affecting any state. It is a simple query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—an attacker could only view product information they may already have access to.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Fetch a single product details using its unique ID" - this is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb "Fetch" and the context of "get-product-by-id" clearly indicate a read-only query operation.

get-product-by-id 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-product-by-id 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-product-by-id. 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-product-by-id is provided by the MCP Server MCP server (navgour1989/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
