Get details of a specific flow group including its flows and subgroups
AI agents call get_flow_group to retrieve information from Spiderchat without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries metadata about flow groups, their contained flows, and subgroups. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any language suggesting modification, execution, or deletion clearly indicate a read-only operation. No side effects or data changes are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_flow_group' and description 'Get details of a specific flow group including its flows and subgroups' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get details of a specific flow group including its flows and subgroups. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Spiderchat MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Spiderchat MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_flow_group: 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 Spiderchat. Nothing to install.
get_flow_group 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_flow_group 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_flow_group. 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_flow_group is provided by the Spiderchat MCP server (spider-chat/spiderchat-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
