Prints the configuration of the Sitecore MCP server.
AI agents call config to retrieve information from SitecoreMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns configuration information. There is no indication of data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The action is passive information retrieval, which is the definition of the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'config' and description 'Prints the configuration of the Sitecore MCP server' indicate retrieval and display of configuration data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Prints the configuration of the Sitecore MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SitecoreMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sitecore MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for config: 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 SitecoreMCP. Nothing to install.
config 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 config 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 config. 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.
config is provided by the Sitecore MCP server (ramseur/mcp-sitecore-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
