Get a specific object by ID or slug from your Cosmic bucket.
AI agents call get_object to retrieve information from Cosmic MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves data from the CMS without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because retrieving an object presents minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—it only exposes existing data the agent may already have access to query through other means.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a specific object by ID or slug from your Cosmic bucket.' The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of retrieving a single object by identifier indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific object by ID or slug from your Cosmic bucket. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cosmic MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cosmic MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_object: 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 Cosmic MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_object 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_object 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_object. 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_object is provided by the Cosmic MCP Server MCP server (patgpt/cosmic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_object is one line of Cosmic 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.
