Get statistics for a CustomGPT agent.
AI agents call get_agent_stats to retrieve information from CustomGPT 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 statistical information about an agent. It performs no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not delete or move resources. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could retrieve stats about agents it shouldn't know about, but cannot modify or destroy anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_stats' and description 'Get statistics for a CustomGPT agent' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Get' and absence of keywords like 'create', 'delete', 'update', or 'execute' confirm read-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get statistics for a CustomGPT agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CustomGPT MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CustomGPT MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_agent_stats: 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 CustomGPT MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_agent_stats 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_agent_stats 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_agent_stats. 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_agent_stats is provided by the CustomGPT MCP Server MCP server (poll-the-people/customgpt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
