Get the root element from a model.
AI agents call sgraph_get_root_element to retrieve information from SGraph MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though sgraph_get_root_element only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Get the root element from a model. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SGraph MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SGraph MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sgraph_get_root_element: 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 SGraph MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sgraph_get_root_element 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 sgraph_get_root_element 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 sgraph_get_root_element. 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.
sgraph_get_root_element is provided by the SGraph MCP Server MCP server (softagram/sgraph-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
