Get all pending (unresolved) annotations from the UI. Returns annotation metadata including comment, element, page URL, and severity. Does not include screenshot data — use get_screenshot for that.
AI agents call get_all_pending to retrieve information from Instruckt without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
get_all_pending performs a data query operation that retrieves pending annotation metadata. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only read existing annotation data that may already be visible or accessible. This is a straightforward Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves/queries pending annotations and metadata; description explicitly states it returns annotation data without side effects ('Does not include screenshot data'). The verb 'Get' and action of retrieving existing state confirms read-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all pending (unresolved) annotations from the UI. Returns annotation metadata including comment, element, page URL, and severity. Does not include screenshot data — use get_screenshot for that. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Instruckt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Instruckt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_all_pending: 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 Instruckt. Nothing to install.
get_all_pending 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_all_pending 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_all_pending. 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_all_pending is provided by the Instruckt MCP server (tdwesten/instruckt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
