AI agents call get_request to retrieve information from Paraph without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about a signing request (status, signer details, signing links) without modifying data, executing code, or triggering irreversible actions. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk—an agent could learn details about signing requests but cannot alter them or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_request' and description 'Get request details including signer status and signing links' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion. It queries the status of an existing signing request.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get request details including signer status and signing links. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paraph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Paraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_request: 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 Paraph. Nothing to install.
get_request 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_request 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_request. 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_request is provided by the Paraph MCP server (servants-of-the-server-fire/paraph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
