Get a single product by storefront slug and product slug.
AI agents call get_product to retrieve information from Paylo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries product data. While it exists within a commerce/payment platform (Paylo with Paystack integration), the get_product tool itself only retrieves product information and does not process payments, modify data, or execute transactions. Sibling tools like search_products and get_storefront reinforce the read-only pattern of information discovery tools on this server.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves a single product by storefront and product slug - a straightforward data lookup operation with no modification, deletion, or financial transaction capability. The description explicitly uses 'Get', indicating retrieval semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a single product by storefront slug and product slug. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paylo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Paylo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_product: 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 Paylo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_product 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 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. 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 is provided by the Paylo MCP Server MCP server (nodeshift-nigeria/paylo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
