How to control find_user ↓

AI agents call find_user to retrieve information from Superglue MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and returns user information including assigned roles. It performs a lookup operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The action is purely informational query, fitting the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_user' and description 'Look up a user by email, name, or ID and return their info' indicates querying/retrieval of user data with no modification or deletion.

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

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Superglue MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for find_user:

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

find_user 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 Superglue MCP — 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.

What does the find_user tool do? +

Look up a user by email, name, or ID and return their info including all assigned roles. Use this to answer questions like. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Superglue MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_user? +

Register the Superglue MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_user: 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 Superglue MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is find_user? +

find_user is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit find_user? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_user 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.

How do I block find_user completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for find_user. 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.

What MCP server provides find_user? +

find_user is provided by the Superglue MCP server (superglue-ai/superglue). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Superglue MCP tool call.
