Get the default role assignment for delegate users
AI agents call get_delegation_default_roles to retrieve information from Linode MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration information about default role assignments for delegated users. It performs a simple read operation with no capacity to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn role defaults but cannot change permissions or access resources. This is a straightforward Read category classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_delegation_default_roles' and description 'Get the default role assignment for delegate users' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'get' and lack of modification language confirm this is a query-only action with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_delegation_default_roles gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Linode MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_delegation_default_roles:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_delegation_default_roles": {}
}
}get_delegation_default_roles is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the default role assignment for delegate users. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Linode MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Linode MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_delegation_default_roles: 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 Linode MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_delegation_default_roles 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_delegation_default_roles 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_delegation_default_roles. 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_delegation_default_roles is provided by the Linode MCP Server MCP server (takashito/linode-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Linode MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
