Get flow operations with optional filtering by flow
AI agents call get_operations to retrieve information from Directus 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 retrieval operation that queries existing flow operations in Directus with optional filtering. It has no side effects, creates no data, executes no workflows, and deletes nothing. It is straightforward data retrieval, fitting the Read category with low severity since exposing flow operation metadata poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_operations' and description states 'Get flow operations with optional filtering by flow' — this retrieves/queries flow operations without modifying them.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get flow operations with optional filtering by flow. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Directus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Directus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_operations: 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 Directus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_operations 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_operations 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_operations. 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_operations is provided by the Directus MCP Server MCP server (staminna/mcp-server-claude). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
