AI agents call get_connects to retrieve information from Kwork without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool follows the naming pattern of other Read operations on this server (get_* prefix). In the Kwork marketplace context, 'connects' likely refers to a currency or resource balance that users check. No write, delete, execute, or financial operation is indicated.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_connects' suggests data retrieval. The description is empty, but contextual clues from sibling tools (get_dialog, get_order_details, get_kwork_details, get_me) indicate this is a Read operation that queries user data without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_connects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kwork MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_connects: 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 Kwork. Nothing to install.
get_connects 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_connects 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_connects. 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_connects is provided by the Kwork MCP server (simonether/kwork-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
