Fetch organisation-level DORA metrics from Swarmia (deployment frequency,
AI agents call get_dora_metrics to retrieve information from Mcp Swarmia without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves engineering metrics (DORA metrics) from the Swarmia API without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure data query operation with no side effects. The broader context confirms the server's purpose is metric retrieval for analysis, not data manipulation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dora_metrics' and description 'Fetch organisation-level DORA metrics' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Fetch' and context of querying 'deployment frequency' metrics are consistent with read-only operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch organisation-level DORA metrics from Swarmia (deployment frequency,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Swarmia MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Swarmia MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dora_metrics: 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 Mcp Swarmia. Nothing to install.
get_dora_metrics 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_dora_metrics 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_dora_metrics. 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_dora_metrics is provided by the Mcp Swarmia MCP server (smattila/mcp-swarmia). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
