AI agents call get_provider_info to retrieve information from AgentCloak without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static configuration and capability information about the email provider. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute actions on the email system itself. It is a straightforward information lookup, consistent with the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose provider capabilities, not sensitive email content or system access.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_provider_info' and description 'Get information about the email provider type, supported search operators, and limitations' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about the email service without modifying any data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_provider_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AgentCloak, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_provider_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_provider_info": {}
}
}get_provider_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get information about the email provider type, supported search operators, and limitations. Call this to understand what queries and features are available. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AgentCloak MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AgentCloak MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_provider_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 AgentCloak. Nothing to install.
get_provider_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_provider_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_provider_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_provider_info is provided by the AgentCloak MCP server (ryanfren/agentcloak). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from AgentCloak, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
