Get Terragrunt best practices, block comparisons (dependency vs dependencies), or DRY patterns for infrastructure-as-code organization.
AI agents call get_guidance to retrieve information from Terragrunt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns documentation and best-practice information without modifying state, executing commands, or triggering infrastructure changes. It is a reference/lookup function analogous to searching documentation. No reversible or irreversible mutations, code execution, or external operations occur.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and returns Terragrunt best practices, block comparisons, and DRY patterns—purely informational content with no side effects. The verb 'get' combined with the descriptive content (guidance, comparisons, patterns) indicates data retrieval only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get Terragrunt best practices, block comparisons (dependency vs dependencies), or DRY patterns for infrastructure-as-code organization. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_guidance: 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 Terragrunt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_guidance 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_guidance 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_guidance. 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_guidance is provided by the Terragrunt MCP Server MCP server (omattsson/terragrunt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
