Fetch one provider by slug, including limits, rate settings, expiration, and reset status. Use this to check consumption or audit configuration before updating.
AI agents call get_provider 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
slug | string | Yes | The unique slug identifier of the provider to retrieve |
workspace_id | string | — | Workspace ID - required when using organization admin keys |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Even though get_provider 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
Fetch one provider by slug, including limits, rate settings, expiration, and reset status. Use this to check consumption or audit configuration before updating. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Portkey Admin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_provider accepts 2 parameters: slug, workspace_id. Required: slug. 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_provider: 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_provider 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_provider 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_provider. 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_provider 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.
