Get details for a specific CWE including full name, description, exploit
AI agents call get_cwe to retrieve information from Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves vulnerability weakness information (CWE details, descriptions, and associated exploits) from a knowledge base. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get details for a specific CWE' which is a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' combined with 'details' indicates querying/fetching data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get details for a specific CWE including full name, description, exploit. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cwe: 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 Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_cwe 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_cwe 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_cwe. 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_cwe is provided by the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP server (oyaaiprod/eip-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
