Get detailed information about a specific API
AI agents call get_api_info to retrieve information from Sufetch without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns API metadata/details without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and fits the Read category (retrieve/query data). The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be exposing publicly available API documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool is 'get_api_info' that retrieves 'detailed information about a specific API' — a read-only query operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_api_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sufetch, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_api_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_api_info": {}
}
}get_api_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get detailed information about a specific API. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sufetch MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sufetch MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_api_info: 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 Sufetch. Nothing to install.
get_api_info 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_api_info 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_api_info. 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_api_info is provided by the Sufetch MCP server (productdevbook/sufetch). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Sufetch, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
