Show all active smart rules in detail — name, tool, verdict, conditions, and reason.
AI agents call node9_policy_get to retrieve information from Node9-Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays policy configuration data (smart rules, verdicts, conditions, reasons) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational, serving an audit and visibility function consistent with the server's governance role. No data is altered, code is executed, or resources are consumed beyond the query itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'node9_policy_get' and description 'Show all active smart rules in detail' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'show' and context of displaying existing policy configuration confirm read-only behavior.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node9_policy_get gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Node9-Proxy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for node9_policy_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"node9_policy_get": {}
}
}node9_policy_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Show all active smart rules in detail — name, tool, verdict, conditions, and reason. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Node9-Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Node9-Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for node9_policy_get: 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 Node9-Proxy. Nothing to install.
node9_policy_get 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 node9_policy_get 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 node9_policy_get. 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.
node9_policy_get is provided by the Node9-Proxy MCP server (node9-ai/node9-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
