Get relational metadata for a given tensor descriptor.
AI agents call get_relational_metadata 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 metadata about a tensor without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation on metadata, characteristic of query/fetch functionality. The severity is low because metadata retrieval poses minimal risk even if accessed by an untrusted agent, and there are no financial, destructive, or code execution implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_relational_metadata' and description 'Get relational metadata for a given tensor descriptor' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get relational metadata for a given tensor descriptor. 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_relational_metadata: 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_relational_metadata 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_relational_metadata 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_relational_metadata. 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_relational_metadata 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.
