What config_get does on Uefn

AI agents call config_get to retrieve information from Uefn without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why config_get needs a policy

This is a read-only operation that retrieves configuration values. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and presents minimal risk. The low severity reflects that configuration data is typically non-sensitive in a local editor context, and misuse would only allow an agent to query existing settings rather than alter system behavior or permissions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'config_get' and description 'Get toolbelt configuration value(s)' indicate retrieval of configuration data without modification.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access config_get gives an agent:

How to control config_get

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for config_get:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "config_get": {}
  }
}

config_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Uefn — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
