Get one workspace by id and return its full details, including defaults and the complete member list. Use this when you need membership detail; use list_workspaces for an overview.
AI agents call get_workspace 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
workspace_id | string | Yes | The unique identifier of the workspace to retrieve. This can be found in the workspace's URL or from the list_workspaces tool response |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Even though get_workspace 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
Get one workspace by id and return its full details, including defaults and the complete member list. Use this when you need membership detail; use list_workspaces for an overview. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Portkey Admin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_workspace accepts 1 parameter: workspace_id. Required: workspace_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_workspace: 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_workspace 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_workspace 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_workspace. 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_workspace 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.
