Get the full spec of an approved module: source, version, inputs, outputs,
AI agents call get_module to retrieve information from Claude Iac without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries an approved Terraform module registry to retrieve module specifications including source, version, inputs, and outputs. It is a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial obligations. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose internal module metadata, not compromise infrastructure or systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of module specifications: 'Get the full spec of an approved module: source, version, inputs, outputs.' The verb 'Get' and action of retrieving metadata about infrastructure modules with no side effects (search,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the full spec of an approved module: source, version, inputs, outputs,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Iac MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Iac MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_module: 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 Claude Iac. Nothing to install.
get_module 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_module 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_module. 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_module is provided by the Claude Iac MCP server (net9876/claude-iac-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
