Retrieves my Workspaces
AI agents call get_workspaces 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.
This tool performs a straightforward read-only operation to retrieve existing workspace data. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and presents minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure of workspaces the authenticated user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_workspaces' and description 'Retrieves my Workspaces' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification, creation, or deletion capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves my Workspaces. 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_workspaces: 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_workspaces 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_workspaces 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_workspaces. 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_workspaces 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.
