Fetch full details for a single Hostaway listing by id. Returns location, capacity, pricing, reputation, and channel URLs as Markdown sections.
AI agents call get_listing to retrieve information from Hostaway-mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a pure data retrieval operation that queries listing information by ID and returns structured details. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. Consistent with the server's read-only nature, this poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it enables reconnaissance of property data already accessible to authenticated users.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Fetch full details for a single Hostaway listing' and server description confirms 'read-only tools'. The tool retrieves and queries data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch full details for a single Hostaway listing by id. Returns location, capacity, pricing, reputation, and channel URLs as Markdown sections. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hostaway-mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hostaway- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_listing: 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 Hostaway-mcp. Nothing to install.
get_listing 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_listing 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_listing. 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_listing is provided by the Hostaway- MCP server (prosperkartik/hostaway-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
