Get information about a website without downloading it.
AI agents call get_site_info to retrieve information from WebClone 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 or queries website information (metadata, structure, properties) without modifying data, downloading content, or triggering external operations. It is a passive reconnaissance action with no blast radius for misuse. The absence of action verbs like 'delete', 'execute', 'create', or 'modify' confirms Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_site_info' and description 'Get information about a website without downloading it' indicate retrieval of site metadata with no side effects or data modifications.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WebClone MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_site_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_site_info": {}
}
}get_site_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the WebClone MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_site_info: 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 WebClone MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_site_info 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_site_info 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_site_info. 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_site_info is provided by the WebClone MCP Server MCP server (ruslanmv/webclone). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from WebClone MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
