AI agents call get_prompt_version_detail 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.
This tool performs data retrieval with no side effects. It accesses stored prompt version metadata and configuration parameters (messages, model settings, temperature, etc.) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could view prompt details it shouldn't access, but cannot alter systems or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_prompt_version_detail' and description state it 'Retrieve[s] detailed information about a specific version of a prompt.' The verb 'Retrieve' and the absence of any modification, creation, deletion, or execution language indicate this is a…

Retrieve detailed information about a specific version of a prompt. Returns complete version data including: - id: Version identifier - version: Version number - prompt_id: Parent prompt identifier - messages: Full prompt template messages array - Each message has: role (system/user/assistant), content (template text) - Content may contain {{variable}} placeholders for dynamic values - model: Model setting for this version - temperature: Temperature setting (0.0-2.0) - max_tokens: Maximum tokens for completion - top_p: Top-p sampling parameter - frequency_penalty: Frequency penalty (0.0-2.0) - presence_penalty: Presence penalty (0.0-2.0) - stop: Stop sequences array - created_at: Creation timestamp - updated_at: Last update timestamp - is_active: Whether this version is active - change_notes: Description of changes - created_by: Creator information - metadata: Custom metadata Use list_prompts to find prompt_id, then list_prompt_versions to find the version number. 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_prompt_version_detail: 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_prompt_version_detail 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_prompt_version_detail 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_prompt_version_detail. 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_prompt_version_detail 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.
