Retrieve accreditations with optional filtering and sorting
AI agents call getAccreditations to retrieve information from 42 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries accreditation data from the 42 intranet API. It retrieves information without side effects, matching the Read category. Severity is low because accreditation data is typically non-sensitive metadata about educational credentials, and retrieval alone poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getAccreditations' and description 'Retrieve accreditations with optional filtering and sorting' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getAccreditations 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 getAccreditations. 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.
