AI agents call baseline_get_report to retrieve information from Baseline without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical reporting data without modifying, executing operations, or causing destructive effects. It is a straightforward read operation that queries irrigation controller data. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only expose historical time-series information about controller performance.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Fetch a reporting time-series' and returns 'timestamp/value points'. Server description explicitly states 'read-only interaction' with 'historical reporting'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch a reporting time-series for a controller. Returns aligned timestamp/value points. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Baseline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for baseline_get_report: 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 Baseline. Nothing to install.
baseline_get_report 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 baseline_get_report 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 baseline_get_report. 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.
baseline_get_report is provided by the Baseline MCP server (swannman/baseline-irrigation-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
