AI agents call get_team_members to retrieve information from Nubis without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries team member information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only information retrieval function with minimal security blast radius—exposing team roster data is a standard informational query in task management systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_team_members' and description 'Get all members of a team with their roles and profile info' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' explicitly describes a query action.

Register the Nubis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_team_members: 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 Nubis. Nothing to install.
get_team_members 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_team_members 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_team_members. 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.
