Get objects modified after a specific timestamp

How to control get_objects_modified_after ↓

AI agents call get_objects_modified_after to retrieve information from MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool queries the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base to retrieve objects (threat actors, techniques, malware, etc.) filtered by modification timestamp. It performs a simple data retrieval operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose existing threat intelligence data that is already public in the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_objects_modified_after' and description 'Get objects modified after a specific timestamp' indicate a query operation that retrieves data based on a time filter.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_objects_modified_after gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_objects_modified_after:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_objects_modified_after": {}
  }
}

get_objects_modified_after is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
