Retrieves a report by ID with its data rows
AI agents call get_report to retrieve information from Smartsheet MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a query/fetch operation that retrieves existing data from a report without modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. This is a straightforward read operation typical of data retrieval endpoints. Severity is low because retrieval alone poses minimal risk unless the report contains highly sensitive data, but the tool itself has no destructive or operational capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_report' and description 'Retrieves a report by ID with its data rows' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves a report by ID with its data rows. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_report: 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 Smartsheet MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_report 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_report 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_report. 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_report is provided by the Smartsheet MCP Server MCP server (thomaswtwrt/smar-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
