Use this when you want the built-in command-line usage text for a CONTAM executable before deciding which tool or arguments to use.
AI agents call get_contam_program_help to retrieve information from CONTAM MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns existing help documentation from CONTAM executables. It performs no modifications, execution of simulations, deletion, financial operations, or irreversible changes. The data retrieved is static documentation intended to guide users, making it a straightforward Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'built-in command-line usage text for a CONTAM executable' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. The description explicitly indicates it provides informational help/documentation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use this when you want the built-in command-line usage text for a CONTAM executable before deciding which tool or arguments to use. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CONTAM MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CONTAM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_contam_program_help: 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 CONTAM MCP. Nothing to install.
get_contam_program_help 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_contam_program_help 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_contam_program_help. 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_contam_program_help is provided by the CONTAM MCP server (summer521521/contam_plugin). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
