Current progress on the user
AI agents call get_goals_progress to retrieve information from Vetroscope MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves goals progress data from a local SQLite database without any ability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The read-only server design and getter pattern confirm the Read category. Severity is low because access to personal time-tracking and goals progress data, while privacy-sensitive, poses minimal direct risk when the tool cannot write, delete, or execute arbitrary operations.
From the tool's definition Server is explicitly described as 'read-only' and provides 'detailed time-tracking data'. Tool name 'get_goals_progress' follows read pattern (get_*). Description indicates retrieval of 'current progress on the user' with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Current progress on the user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vetroscope MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vetroscope MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_goals_progress: 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 Vetroscope MCP. Nothing to install.
get_goals_progress 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_goals_progress 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_goals_progress. 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_goals_progress is provided by the Vetroscope MCP server (rankin-works/vetroscope-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
