AI agents call get-habits to retrieve information from Habitify without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves habit data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It has no side effects and poses minimal security risk beyond potential information disclosure of the user's habit list.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-habits' and description 'Get all habits' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. Sibling tools like 'add-habit-log', 'delete-habit-log', and 'add-mood' are Write/Destructive; this tool is purely informational.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get-habits gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Habitify, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-habits:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get-habits": {}
}
}get-habits is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get all habits. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Habitify MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Habitify MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-habits: 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 Habitify. Nothing to install.
get-habits 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-habits 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-habits. 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-habits is provided by the Habitify MCP server (sargonpiraev/habitify-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Habitify, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
