List all items in a top-level menu (File, Edit, Pixel, etc.)
AI agents call affinity_get_menus to retrieve information from Affinity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate available menu items in Affinity's UI. It has no side effects—it merely inspects and reports menu contents. There is no data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial impact. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an AI agent querying menus cannot cause harm beyond potentially learning the UI structure to inform subsequent tool calls.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'affinity_get_menus' and description 'List all items in a top-level menu' indicate a query operation that retrieves menu structure information without modifying state or triggering actions.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all items in a top-level menu (File, Edit, Pixel, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Affinity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Affinity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for affinity_get_menus: 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 Affinity MCP Server. Nothing to install.
affinity_get_menus 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 affinity_get_menus 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 affinity_get_menus. 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.
affinity_get_menus is provided by the Affinity MCP Server MCP server (sekharmalla/affinity-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
