get_version
AI agents call get_version to retrieve information from Ollama_MCP_Guidance without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves version information from Ollama, a read-only operation with no side effects. It queries existing state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and sibling context strongly indicate a simple informational query.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_version' and its position among sibling tools (get_api_doc_section, get_ollama_list, get_ollama_version, get_running_models, get_started_guide, list_models) which are all read-only query operations.

get_version. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ollama_MCP_Guidance MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ollama_MCP_Guidance MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_version: 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 Ollama_MCP_Guidance. Nothing to install.
get_version 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_version 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_version. 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_version is provided by the Ollama_MCP_Guidance MCP server (shadovvsinger/ollama_mcp_guidance). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
