Obtiene la metadata completa de un item en formato JSON o XML.
AI agents call item_metadata to retrieve information from ArcGIS MCP 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 information about an ArcGIS item without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could gain information about item configurations but cannot alter systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Obtiene la metadata completa de un item en formato JSON o XML' (Obtains the complete metadata of an item in JSON or XML format).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Obtiene la metadata completa de un item en formato JSON o XML. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ArcGIS MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ArcGIS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for item_metadata: 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 ArcGIS MCP. Nothing to install.
item_metadata 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 item_metadata 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 item_metadata. 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.
item_metadata is provided by the ArcGIS MCP server (renemorenow/arcgis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
