Retrieve detailed information about a specific evaluator including its config.
AI agents call get_evaluator to retrieve information from Respan MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries data about an evaluator's configuration without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_evaluator' and description 'Retrieve detailed information about a specific evaluator' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve detailed information about a specific evaluator including its config. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Respan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Respan MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_evaluator: 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 Respan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_evaluator 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_evaluator 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_evaluator. 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_evaluator is provided by the Respan MCP Server MCP server (respanai/respan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
