Get details of an AAP credential (secrets masked by AAP).
AI agents call aap_get_credential to retrieve information from AAP MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves credential metadata without side effects. It queries data (credential details) in a read-only manner. The masking of secrets ensures that even retrieved information is sanitized. There is no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'aap_get_credential' and description 'Get details of an AAP credential (secrets masked by AAP)' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and phrase 'Get details' explicitly denote a query/fetch action with no modifications.

Register the AAP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aap_get_credential: 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 AAP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
aap_get_credential 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 aap_get_credential 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 aap_get_credential. 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.
aap_get_credential is provided by the AAP MCP Server MCP server (srinivassrinu842/aap-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
