Get information about this agent
AI agents call get_agent_info to retrieve information from Red Team MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata or configuration details about an agent without side effects. It is purely informational and fits the Read category (queries data with no side effects). The severity is low because exposure of agent information, while potentially revealing system architecture, does not enable direct harm, data modification, or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_info' and description 'Get information about this agent' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification, deletion, or code execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about this agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Red Team MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Red Team MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_agent_info: 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 Red Team MCP. Nothing to install.
get_agent_info 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_agent_info 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_agent_info. 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_agent_info is provided by the Red Team MCP server (redteammcp/redteam-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
