Get HMC API version information
AI agents call get_api_version to retrieve information from zRobot WSAPI 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 version information from the HMC API—a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since it only exposes version metadata. It fits the 'Read' category as it queries data without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_api_version' and description 'Get HMC API version information' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata without modification or side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_api_version 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_api_version. 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.
