Retrieve the asset type information of each available asset type
AI agents call get_all_types to retrieve information from OpenRemote MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns data about available asset types in the OpenRemote system. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands. The read-only nature and limited scope (asset type metadata only) indicate low severity even if misused, as it cannot cause data loss, financial impact, or execute arbitrary operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_all_types' and description states 'Retrieve the asset type information of each available asset type' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve the asset type information of each available asset type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_all_types: 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 OpenRemote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_all_types 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_all_types 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_all_types. 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_all_types is provided by the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server (openremote/service-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_all_types is one line of OpenRemote MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
