Get clone details by ID, name, or database name
AI agents call get_clone to retrieve information from NDB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about database clones without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and poses minimal risk if called by an AI agent, as it only returns existing data about clones.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_clone' and description 'Get clone details by ID, name, or database name' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get clone details by ID, name, or database name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NDB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NDB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_clone: 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 NDB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_clone 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_clone 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_clone. 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_clone is provided by the NDB MCP Server MCP server (rouxton/ndb-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
