Returns the full content of a named Cursor rule.
AI agents call cursor_get_rule to retrieve information from Clodbridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns rule content from the .cursor directory—a read-only query operation. It accesses configuration metadata that defines project rules but does not modify, execute, or delete anything. The blast radius is minimal: an AI could learn about project rules but cannot invoke them or cause side effects. Severity is low because rule content is typically non-sensitive configuration information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cursor_get_rule' and description 'Returns the full content of a named Cursor rule' indicate retrieval of configuration data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns the full content of a named Cursor rule. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Clodbridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Clodbridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cursor_get_rule: 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 Clodbridge. Nothing to install.
cursor_get_rule 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 cursor_get_rule 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 cursor_get_rule. 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.
cursor_get_rule is provided by the Clodbridge MCP server (rethunk-ai/clodbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
cursor_get_rule is one line of Clodbridge's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
