Get detailed information about a specific secret.
AI agents call get_secret_details to retrieve information from Pingera 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 information about secrets, which is a Read operation. However, severity is elevated to medium rather than low because secrets are sensitive data — unauthorized access or disclosure could compromise credentials, API keys, or other authentication material. An AI agent with this tool could potentially expose secrets if misused, creating moderate risk despite the read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_secret_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific secret' indicate retrieval of data with no modification or side effects.

Get detailed information about a specific secret. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pingera MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pingera MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_secret_details: 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 Pingera MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_secret_details 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_secret_details 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_secret_details. 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_secret_details is provided by the Pingera MCP Server MCP server (pingera/pingera-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
