Retrieves details about a specific flow run
AI agents call retrieveRunDetails to retrieve information from OpenAI Web Search MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves metadata about an existing flow run. This is a pure read operation with no side effects, modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands. It has minimal blast radius—at worst, an AI agent could retrieve details about unintended flow runs, but this does not damage data or trigger actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'retrieveRunDetails' and description 'Retrieves details about a specific flow run' indicate a query operation that fetches information without modifying or executing anything.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the retrieveRunDetails 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 retrieveRunDetails. 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.
retrieveRunDetails is provided by the OpenAI Web Search MCP Server MCP server (tiovikram/gumloop-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
