Retrieves detailed information about a specific server by its name.
AI agents call get_server to retrieve information from NetMind MCPServer MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval/query operation without side effects. It fetches server details by name, which is a read-only action. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse — an agent could retrieve information it shouldn't access, but cannot cause damage through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_server' and description states it 'Retrieves detailed information about a specific server by its name' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves detailed information about a specific server by its name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NetMind MCPServer MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NetMind MCPServer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_server: 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 NetMind MCPServer MCP. Nothing to install.
get_server 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_server 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_server. 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_server is provided by the NetMind MCPServer MCP server (protagolabs/netmind-mcpserver-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
