AI agents call smartsheet_get_sheet_version to retrieve information from Smartsheet 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 metadata about a sheet (version number and modification timestamp) without altering any data or triggering external operations. It is a passive read operation designed for efficient change detection. The minimal blast radius (detecting version changes) and lack of any write, execute, or destructive capability places it firmly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get the current version number of a sheet without loading all row data' and returns 'Current version number and last modification timestamp.' The operation is purely retrievive with no modification or side effects.

Get the current version number of a sheet without loading all row data. Use this to efficiently detect whether a sheet has been modified since last read, without pulling the full sheet payload. Args: - sheet_id (number): Target sheet ID Returns: Current version number and last modification timestamp. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for smartsheet_get_sheet_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 Smartsheet MCP Server. Nothing to install.
smartsheet_get_sheet_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 smartsheet_get_sheet_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 smartsheet_get_sheet_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.
smartsheet_get_sheet_version is provided by the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server (prmbr42-bot/smartsheet-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
