Get current usage (credits, projects, workflows, domains)
AI agents call get_usage to retrieve information from Prowpt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves account/usage information without side effects. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation that fits the 'Read' category. The severity is low because misuse would only expose usage statistics, not enable destructive or financial actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_usage' and description states it retrieves/queries current usage metrics ('Get current usage (credits, projects, workflows, domains)'). No modification, deletion, or execution is implied.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current usage (credits, projects, workflows, domains). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prowpt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_usage: 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 Prowpt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_usage 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_usage 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_usage. 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_usage is provided by the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server (prowptai/prowpt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_usage is one line of Prowpt MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
