Get full metadata for a specific data product including models, governance, rules, lineage, and tiers
AI agents call get_product to retrieve information from RunContext without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries metadata about a data product. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an AI agent can only access information about data products, not modify data or trigger external actions. Severity is low because metadata queries pose no direct operational risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_product' and description 'Get full metadata for a specific data product' indicate a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get full metadata for a specific data product including models, governance, rules, lineage, and tiers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RunContext MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RunContext MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_product: 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 RunContext. Nothing to install.
get_product 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_product 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_product. 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_product is provided by the RunContext MCP server (quiet-victory-labs/runcontext). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
