get_template

Get detailed information about a specific template

How to control get_template ↓

AI agents call get_template to retrieve information from Roadmap Skill without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves information about a template without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation on stored template metadata. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only access information already stored in the system, with no ability to alter state or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_template' and description states 'Get detailed information about a specific template' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_template gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Roadmap Skill, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_template": {}
  }
}

get_template is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Roadmap Skill — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
