Get a specific opportunity by ID
AI agents call autotask_get_opportunity to retrieve information from Autotask 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 a single opportunity record from Autotask PSA by its identifier. No modification, creation, deletion, or external execution occurs. It is a straightforward lookup operation that returns existing data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this tool would at worst access opportunity details it shouldn't, but cannot alter business data or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'autotask_get_opportunity' with description 'Get a specific opportunity by ID' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the pattern of querying by ID are characteristic of read-only data access with no side effects.

Register the Autotask MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for autotask_get_opportunity: 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 Autotask MCP Server. Nothing to install.
autotask_get_opportunity 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 autotask_get_opportunity 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 autotask_get_opportunity. 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.
