Get documentation for a HoloViews element.
AI agents call get to retrieve information from HoloViz MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool fetches informational documentation about visualization elements. It neither modifies state, executes code, deletes data, nor involves financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is negligible — an AI agent cannot cause harm by requesting documentation. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get' and description states it retrieves 'documentation for a HoloViews element' — a read-only query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get documentation for a HoloViews element. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HoloViz MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HoloViz MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get: 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 HoloViz MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get 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 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. 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 is provided by the HoloViz MCP Server MCP server (sumayabee/holoviz-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
