What flocks_getNodeActivity does on Genesis
AI agents call flocks_getNodeActivity 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 | Node id (UUID) from listNodes |
limit | integer | — | Runs per page, 1-100 (default 50) |
cursor | string | — | Opaque next_cursor from the previous page |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why flocks_getNodeActivity is rated Low
Even though flocks_getNodeActivity 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs flocks_getNodeActivity safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For flocks_getNodeActivity, this is the rule to start with:
flocks_getNodeActivity is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genesis, apply this rule, and every flocks_getNodeActivity call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about flocks_getNodeActivity
Read one node's presence and the runs recorded against it (GET /v1/flocks/byom/nodes/{id}/activity). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Genesis MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
flocks_getNodeActivity accepts 3 parameters: id, limit, cursor. Required: id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Genesis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for flocks_getNodeActivity: 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 Genesis. Nothing to install.
flocks_getNodeActivity 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 flocks_getNodeActivity 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 flocks_getNodeActivity. 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.
flocks_getNodeActivity is provided by the Genesis MCP server (@onesi/genesis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
