Get user's settings for this account.
AI agents call get_settings to retrieve information from JotForm API Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves user account settings without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a straightforward read operation that queries account configuration data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—accessing settings poses no direct risk unless the settings themselves contain highly sensitive credentials (unlikely for a well-designed API).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_settings' and description 'Get user's settings for this account' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get user's settings for this account. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JotForm API Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the JotForm API Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_settings: 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 JotForm API Server. Nothing to install.
get_settings 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_settings 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_settings. 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_settings is provided by the JotForm API Server MCP server (the-ai-workshops/jotform-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
