AI agents call get_work_item_property_value to retrieve information from Plane without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix is a standard convention for retrieval operations that do not modify state. No side effects are implied. Even without an explicit description, the verb 'get' combined with 'property_value' clearly indicates this fetches data from a work item. Severity is low because read operations have minimal blast radius—they cannot delete, modify, execute code, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_work_item_property_value' uses the 'get' verb, indicating a retrieval operation. The description is empty, but the naming pattern is consistent with read operations that query data without modification.

get_work_item_property_value. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Plane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_work_item_property_value: 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 Plane. Nothing to install.
get_work_item_property_value 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_work_item_property_value 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_work_item_property_value. 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_work_item_property_value is provided by the Plane MCP server (@makeplane/plane-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
