AI agents call get_finding to retrieve information from Repomend without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns security finding data. It has no side effects—it does not modify findings, execute code, delete records, or trigger financial transactions. The sibling tool 'update_finding_status' performs writes; this tool only retrieves. Classification: Read.
From the tool's definition Tool 'get_finding' performs a retrieval operation: 'Get full details of a specific finding by ID, including code snippets and remediation guidance'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get full details of a specific finding by ID, including code snippets and remediation guidance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Repomend MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Repomend MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_finding: 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 Repomend. Nothing to install.
get_finding 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_finding 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_finding. 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_finding is provided by the Repomend MCP server (repomend-dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
