Retrieve a specific prompt version by its version UUID. Use list_prompt_versions to find the id first; returns the template, parameters, and model config for that version.
AI agents call get_prompt_version to retrieve information from Portkey Admin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt_id | string | Yes | Prompt ID or slug |
version_id | string | Yes | Version UUID to retrieve |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Even though get_prompt_version only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a specific prompt version by its version UUID. Use list_prompt_versions to find the id first; returns the template, parameters, and model config for that version. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Portkey Admin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_prompt_version accepts 2 parameters: prompt_id, version_id. Required: prompt_id, version_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Portkey Admin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_prompt_version: 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 Portkey Admin. Nothing to install.
get_prompt_version 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_prompt_version 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_prompt_version. 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_prompt_version is provided by the Portkey Admin MCP server (CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
