Get the full content of a public template from the PromptingBox library. Use this to preview a template before saving it with use_template.
AI agents call get_template to retrieve information from PromptingBox MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward read operation that queries and returns existing template data without any side effects. The tool merely allows users to view public templates before deciding whether to save them. There is no write, execute, destructive, or financial impact. The low severity reflects that viewing template content poses minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves the full content of a public template from the PromptingBox library for preview purposes. The description explicitly states 'Get' and 'preview', indicating data retrieval with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the full content of a public template from the PromptingBox library. Use this to preview a template before saving it with use_template. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PromptingBox MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PromptingBox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_template: 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 PromptingBox MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_template 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_template 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_template. 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_template is provided by the PromptingBox MCP Server MCP server (promptingbox/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
