AI agents call get_profile to retrieve information from Kontexta without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves stored profile information for contextual purposes. It performs a simple query operation without modifying data, executing commands, or causing irreversible changes. The severity is low because user profile data, while potentially containing personal information, is confined to a local knowledge base and does not affect external systems or enable destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_profile' and description 'Return the user profile stored in the Knowledge Base' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return the user profile stored in the Knowledge Base. The profile helps AI agents understand the user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kontexta MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kontexta MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_profile: 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 Kontexta. Nothing to install.
get_profile 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_profile 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_profile. 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_profile is provided by the Kontexta MCP server (safiyu/kontexta). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
