inspect

Inspect tools by their IDs to get detailed information.

How to control inspect ↓

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

Low Risk

The inspect tool queries and returns information about other tools available in the network. This is a non-destructive read operation with no side effects—it merely retrieves and displays tool metadata. The blast radius is minimal since inspection cannot modify, execute, or delete anything.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'inspect' and description 'Inspect tools by their IDs to get detailed information' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves metadata about tools without modification or execution.

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

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

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

inspect 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 Qveris Agent Toolkit — 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.

What does the inspect tool do? +

Inspect tools by their IDs to get detailed information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qveris Agent Toolkit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on inspect? +

Register the Qveris Agent Toolkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect: 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 Qveris Agent Toolkit. Nothing to install.

What risk level is inspect? +

inspect is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit inspect? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the inspect 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.

How do I block inspect completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for inspect. 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.

What MCP server provides inspect? +

inspect is provided by the Qveris Agent Toolkit MCP server (qverisai/qveris-agent-toolkit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Qveris Agent Toolkit tool call.
