context_info
AI agents call context_info to retrieve information from Container MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
With no description provided, confidence is reduced. However, 'context_info' follows the naming pattern of information retrieval ('get_weather'), and there is no indication of state modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. The tool likely retrieves contextual metadata about the containerized server or request context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'context_info' suggests information retrieval. Description is empty, limiting certainty. Based on sibling tools (get_weather, sum_numbers) and server purpose (lookups, calculations), this appears to be a read-only operation querying context data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
context_info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Container MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Container MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for context_info: 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 Container MCP Server. Nothing to install.
context_info 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 context_info 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 context_info. 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.
context_info is provided by the Container MCP Server MCP server (pgiles/my-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
context_info is one line of Container 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.
