WHAT IT DOES

What silos_getUsage does on Genesis

AI agents call silos_getUsage 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.

RISK

Why silos_getUsage is rated Low

Even though silos_getUsage 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs silos_getUsage 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 silos_getUsage, this is the rule to start with:

silos_getUsage Allowed

silos_getUsage is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "silos_getUsage": {}
  }
}

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 silos_getUsage call is checked against it from then on.
