Get a single post by ID, or by publication slug + post slug
AI agents call get-post to retrieve information from Paragraph MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries a single post using identifiers. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no irreversible actions. The verb 'Get' and the retrieval semantics unambiguously place it in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-post' and description 'Get a single post by ID, or by publication slug + post slug' clearly indicate retrieval of data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a single post by ID, or by publication slug + post slug. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paragraph MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Paragraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-post: 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 Paragraph MCP. Nothing to install.
get-post 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-post 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-post. 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-post is provided by the Paragraph MCP server (paragraph-xyz/paragraph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
