AI agents call authProfile to retrieve information from Routine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns the authenticated user's profile information. It is a read operation with no side effects, reversible modifications, code execution, data destruction, or financial impact. The blast radius if misused is minimal — it merely exposes identity metadata already known to the authenticated user. Low severity is appropriate for identity retrieval in a calendar/task management context.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'authProfile' and description states 'Main user identity' — this retrieves user profile/identity information without modifying data or triggering external actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Main user identity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Routine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Routine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for authProfile: 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 Routine. Nothing to install.
authProfile 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 authProfile 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 authProfile. 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.
authProfile is provided by the Routine MCP server (routineco/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
