List interventions (Carto-issued violations and suggestions) optionally filtered by file. Use to see prior warnings on a file before editing it.
AI agents call get_intervention_history to retrieve information from Carto MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical data about warnings and violations previously issued by Carto. It enables inspection of prior context but does not modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius is minimal — misuse would only result in reading information already present in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List interventions' and 'Use to see prior warnings on a file before editing it' — these are pure query/retrieval operations with no side effects. The verb 'list' and the stated purpose of viewing prior data confirm read-only behavior.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_intervention_history gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Carto MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_intervention_history:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_intervention_history": {}
}
}get_intervention_history is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List interventions (Carto-issued violations and suggestions) optionally filtered by file. Use to see prior warnings on a file before editing it. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Carto MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Carto MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_intervention_history: 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 Carto MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_intervention_history 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_intervention_history 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_intervention_history. 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_intervention_history is provided by the Carto MCP Server MCP server (theanshsonkar/carto). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
