WHAT IT DOES

What flocks_getInstanceAccount does on Genesis

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	Instance (node) id

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why flocks_getInstanceAccount is rated Low

Even though flocks_getInstanceAccount only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

  "tools": {
    "flocks_getInstanceAccount": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genesis, apply this rule, and every flocks_getInstanceAccount call is checked against it from then on.
