Get statistics about the RAG system
AI agents call get_rag_stats to retrieve information from MCP RAG System without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves statistical data about the RAG system's state (likely document counts, index sizes, or performance metrics). It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_rag_stats' and description 'Get statistics about the RAG system' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves system metrics or usage information without modifying, executing external operations, deleting, or committing financial transactions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get statistics about the RAG system. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP RAG System MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP RAG System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_rag_stats: 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 MCP RAG System. Nothing to install.
get_rag_stats 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_rag_stats 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_rag_stats. 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_rag_stats is provided by the MCP RAG System MCP server (nitin-kumar101/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
