AI agents call get-recent to retrieve information from SupaThings MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get-' prefix and sibling tools all being read operations (get-inbox, get-areas, etc.) indicate this is a read-only query tool. The tool description is empty, which slightly reduces confidence, but the server's stated purpose ('read and manage') and the consistent naming pattern across sibling tools support classification as a Read operation with low severity—it queries data without side effects or risk of…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-recent' and server context indicate data retrieval. Server is described as enabling agents to 'read and manage Things 3 data' with 'SQLite-based queries.' Sibling tools like 'get-anytime', 'get-areas', 'get-inbox', 'get-headings', and…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get-recent gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SupaThings MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-recent:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get-recent": {}
}
}get-recent is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get-recent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SupaThings MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SupaThings MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-recent: 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 SupaThings MCP. Nothing to install.
get-recent 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-recent 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-recent. 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-recent is provided by the SupaThings MCP server (soycanopa/supathings-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SupaThings MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
