The 'get_' prefix combined with '_info' suffix indicates a read-only query operation that retrieves metadata about IFC modules. The tool appears designed to provide information to support other IFC operations, consistent with inspection/introspection use cases. Even though the description is empty, the semantic content of the name strongly indicates Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ifc_module_info' indicates retrieval of information about IFC modules. The function prefix 'get_' is a standard Read operation pattern.

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

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

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

get_ifc_module_info 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 IFC Bonsai MCP — 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.
