get_model_context
Get full model context: relationships, schema, and metadata (Eloquent/Mongoose/Sequelize/SQLAlchemy/Prisma/TypeORM/Drizzle). Use to understand a specific ORM model. For raw table schema without ORM context use get_schema instead. Read-only. Returns JSON: { model, table, relationships: [{ type, re...

What get_model_context does on Trace
AI agents call get_model_context to retrieve information from Trace without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_model_context is rated Low
This is a query/introspection tool that gathers information about code structure and dependencies. It has no side effects—it only retrieves and returns existing metadata about models, relationships, and schemas. The explicit 'Read-only' designation and the return of JSON metadata confirm this is a Read category tool with low severity, as misuse would only expose information already present in the codebase.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and 'Get full model context'. It retrieves and returns relationships, schema, and metadata for ORM models in JSON format without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_model_context safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Trace, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_model_context, this is the rule to start with:
get_model_context is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Trace, apply this rule, and every get_model_context call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_model_context
Get full model context: relationships, schema, and metadata (Eloquent/Mongoose/Sequelize/SQLAlchemy/Prisma/TypeORM/Drizzle). Use to understand a specific ORM model. For raw table schema without ORM context use get_schema instead. Read-only. Returns JSON: { model, table, relationships: [{ type, related, foreignKey }], fields, metadata }. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Trace MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Trace MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_model_context: 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 Trace. Nothing to install.
get_model_context 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_model_context 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_model_context. 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_model_context is provided by the Trace MCP server (nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
