List available sorting order options for the sorting_order search parameter.
AI agents call get_sorting_orders to retrieve information from Infobel Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a metadata/reference tool that lists available options for the sorting_order parameter. It performs a simple read operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since it only returns configuration information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sorting_orders' and description 'List available sorting order options' indicate a retrieval operation that queries metadata about available sorting parameters without modifying any data.

List available sorting order options for the sorting_order search parameter. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Infobel Api MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Infobel Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sorting_orders: 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 Infobel Api. Nothing to install.
get_sorting_orders 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_sorting_orders 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_sorting_orders. 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_sorting_orders is provided by the Infobel Api MCP server (techinfobel/infobel-getdata-api-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
