Get the full configuration of a specific app.
AI agents call get_app_config to retrieve information from Truenas Ws without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration data about an application without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation that queries existing state. The severity is low because exposure of configuration data, while sensitive, does not directly enable destructive actions or financial harm—though the confidence is not 1.0 due to the possibility that configuration data itself might contain secrets or…

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the full configuration of a specific app. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Truenas Ws MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Truenas Ws MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_app_config: 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 Truenas Ws. Nothing to install.
get_app_config 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_app_config 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_app_config. 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_app_config is provided by the Truenas Ws MCP server (thoriphes/truenas-ws-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
