Get information about the current agent provider.
AI agents call agent_info to retrieve information from AgentSpawnMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about an agent provider without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'agent_info' and description states 'Get information about the current agent provider' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the current agent provider. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AgentSpawnMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AgentSpawn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agent_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 AgentSpawnMCP. Nothing to install.
agent_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 agent_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 agent_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.
agent_info is provided by the AgentSpawn MCP server (sandsaber/agentspawnmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
