Retrieve all rules or a specific rule from Requestly using its API. Supports pagination and lookup by ruleId.
AI agents call get_rules to retrieve information from Requestly MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries data from Requestly without side effects. It performs no reversible modifications (Write), code execution (Execute), permanent deletion (Destructive), or financial operations (Financial). The sibling tools on this server include create_rule, update_rule, delete_rule, and delete_group which handle modifications and deletions, but get_rules itself is explicitly a retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_rules' and description 'Retrieve all rules or a specific rule' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, creation, or deletion. The mention of 'pagination and lookup by ruleId' confirms query-only functionality.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve all rules or a specific rule from Requestly using its API. Supports pagination and lookup by ruleId. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Requestly MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Requestly MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_rules: 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 Requestly MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_rules 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_rules 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_rules. 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_rules is provided by the Requestly MCP Server MCP server (requestly/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
