Returns the Grocers brand foundations — how copy is written (tone, casing, language), visual rules
AI agents call get_foundations to retrieve information from Grocers Design without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only fetches and returns read-only reference data about brand foundations. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and cannot cause harm if misused. Severity is low as the worst outcome is leaking internal brand guidelines.
From the tool's definition 'Returns the Grocers brand foundations' — purely retrieves brand guidelines including tone, casing, language, and visual rules
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns the Grocers brand foundations — how copy is written (tone, casing, language), visual rules. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Grocers Design MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Grocers Design MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_foundations: 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 Grocers Design. Nothing to install.
get_foundations 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_foundations 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_foundations. 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_foundations is provided by the Grocers Design MCP server (rogerio-ignacio-filho/grocers-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
