Retrieve progress entries
AI agents call get_progress to retrieve information from SDOF Knowledge Base without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only retrieval operation on stored progress data. It neither modifies, deletes, executes code, nor initiates financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an unauthorized actor could only view progress information already stored in the system, with no capacity to alter state or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_progress' and description states 'Retrieve progress entries' — retrieves/queries data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve progress entries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SDOF Knowledge Base MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SDOF Knowledge Base MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_progress: 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 SDOF Knowledge Base. Nothing to install.
get_progress 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_progress 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_progress. 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_progress is provided by the SDOF Knowledge Base MCP server (tgf-between-your-legs/sdof-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
