Get information about the current/active stream including title, status, RTMP URL, and viewer count
AI agents call get_current_stream to retrieve information from Restream MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing stream metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects beyond querying data. The exposure of RTMP URL is informational rather than operationally dangerous in this context. Low blast radius if misused by an agent—worst case is information disclosure about the user's active stream.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_current_stream' and description 'Get information about the current/active stream' indicate data retrieval with no modifications. The information returned (title, status, RTMP URL, viewer count) are read-only queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the current/active stream including title, status, RTMP URL, and viewer count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Restream MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Restream MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_stream: 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 Restream MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_current_stream 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_current_stream 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_current_stream. 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_current_stream is provided by the Restream MCP Server MCP server (shaktech786/restream-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
