Get detailed information about a specific connected social media account on PostEverywhere. Returns the account platform, username, health status, and whether it can currently post. Use this to check the status of a single account by its ID.
AI agents call get_account to retrieve information from Posteverywhere without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only query operation that retrieves metadata about a connected social media account. It has no capacity to modify data, execute actions, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius is minimal—account information disclosure is a data privacy concern but not an operational security risk in the context of MCP tool misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves account information (platform, username, health status, posting capability) with no modification or side effects. Description explicitly states 'Get detailed information' and 'check the status'.

Get detailed information about a specific connected social media account on PostEverywhere. Returns the account platform, username, health status, and whether it can currently post. Use this to check the status of a single account by its ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Posteverywhere MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Posteverywhere MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_account: 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 Posteverywhere. Nothing to install.
get_account 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_account 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_account. 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_account is provided by the Posteverywhere MCP server (posteverywhere/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
