AI agents call element_get to retrieve information from Voog without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data by ID and returns its properties without side effects. It is a simple getter that queries the CMS for element information, fitting the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving element data poses minimal risk unless the element contains highly sensitive information, but the primary function is informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'element_get' and description 'Get a single element by id, with full values hash' indicate retrieval without modification. The reference to 'Use elements_list to find ids' further supports query/lookup functionality.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a single element by id, with full values hash. Use elements_list to find ids. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Voog MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Voog MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for element_get: 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 Voog. Nothing to install.
element_get 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 element_get 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 element_get. 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.
element_get is provided by the Voog MCP server (runnel/voog-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
