Expose ASM2d kinetic defaults without triggering QSDsan thermo setup.
AI agents call get_kinetic_parameters to retrieve information from Aerobic Design MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns kinetic parameter values used in aerobic wastewater treatment modeling. It performs no data modification, deletion, financial operations, or code execution. It is purely informational retrieval of engineering constants/defaults. Low severity because parameter exposure alone poses minimal risk; misuse would inform calculations rather than cause direct damage.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Expose[s] ASM2d kinetic defaults' — a retrieval operation. The phrase 'without triggering QSDsan thermo setup' indicates it fetches pre-computed parameters rather than executing computations or modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Expose ASM2d kinetic defaults without triggering QSDsan thermo setup. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_kinetic_parameters: 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 Aerobic Design MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_kinetic_parameters 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_kinetic_parameters 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_kinetic_parameters. 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_kinetic_parameters is provided by the Aerobic Design MCP Server MCP server (puran-water/aerobic-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
