Find a site by name (case-insensitive). Returns None if not found.
AI agents call get_site to retrieve information from API-Central without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a simple data retrieval operation (finding/searching for a site by name) with no side effects, creation, modification, deletion, or code execution. This is a classic Read operation consistent with the 'search, list, get, fetch' examples provided.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find a site by name' and 'Returns None if not found' - this is a query/lookup operation with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Find a site by name (case-insensitive). Returns None if not found. It is categorised as a Read tool in the API-Central MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the API-Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_site: 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 API-Central. Nothing to install.
get_site 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 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. 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 is provided by the API-Central MCP server (secure-ssid/centralmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
