Retrieves entity and session information from the Plexus context.
AI agents call get_entity_info to retrieve information from Mcp Plexus without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query/retrieval of existing data (entity and session information) without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_entity_info' and description 'Retrieves entity and session information from the Plexus context' both indicate a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or destructive intent.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_entity_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Plexus, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_entity_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_entity_info": {}
}
}get_entity_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieves entity and session information from the Plexus context. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Plexus MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Plexus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_entity_info: 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 Mcp Plexus. Nothing to install.
get_entity_info 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_entity_info 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_entity_info. 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_entity_info is provided by the Mcp Plexus MCP server (super-i-tech/mcp_plexus). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
