Get the child tensors for a given tensor in the lineage.
AI agents call get_child_tensors to retrieve information from Tensorus MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves lineage information about tensor relationships—a read-only operation that queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The retrieval of metadata about tensor lineage poses minimal risk as it simply returns information about data relationships that already exist in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_child_tensors' and description 'Get the child tensors for a given tensor in the lineage' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the child tensors for a given tensor in the lineage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tensorus MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tensorus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_child_tensors: 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 Tensorus MCP. Nothing to install.
get_child_tensors 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_child_tensors 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_child_tensors. 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_child_tensors is provided by the Tensorus MCP server (tensorus/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
