Get a specific product by its ID
AI agents call get_product_by_id to retrieve information from MCP Node Js TypeScript API without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a single product record from the database based on an ID parameter. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary operations. It is a straightforward read operation, the lowest risk category. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing product information, not cause data loss or enable unauthorized modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_product_by_id' and description 'Get a specific product by its ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific product by its ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Node Js TypeScript API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Node Js TypeScript API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_product_by_id: 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 MCP Node Js TypeScript API. Nothing to install.
get_product_by_id 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_product_by_id 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_product_by_id. 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_product_by_id is provided by the MCP Node Js TypeScript API MCP server (proffillipesilva/mcpnodefil). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
