get_links

Get all links for a memory.

How to control get_links ↓

AI agents call get_links to retrieve information from Novyx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves links associated with a memory without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation that has no side effects and poses minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent. The only consideration is that it may expose relationship metadata, but this is still fundamentally a read-only data retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_links' and description 'Get all links for a memory' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or execution. The verb 'Get' is explicitly a read operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_links gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Novyx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_links:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_links": {}
  }
}

get_links is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Novyx — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the get_links tool do? +

Get all links for a memory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Novyx MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_links? +

Register the Novyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_links: 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 Novyx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_links? +

get_links is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_links? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_links 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.

How do I block get_links completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_links. 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.

What MCP server provides get_links? +

get_links is provided by the Novyx MCP server (novyxlabs/novyx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Novyx tool call.
