Get one static secret by name.
AI agents call get_secret to retrieve information from Infisical MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data (a secret value) without modifying, creating, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because retrieving a secret does not directly harm the system, though the secret content itself may be sensitive depending on access controls and what the secret contains.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_secret' and description states 'Get one static secret by name' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_secret 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.
