Retrieve a single instance by its UUID.
AI agents call get_instance to retrieve information from LeanIX MTM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data about a single instance without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Retrieve a single instance by its UUID.' The verb 'Retrieve' and the server description stating 'read-only access' confirms this is a data retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a single instance by its UUID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LeanIX MTM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LeanIX MTM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_instance: 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 LeanIX MTM MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_instance 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_instance 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_instance. 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_instance is provided by the LeanIX MTM MCP Server MCP server (tomgutt/leanix-mtm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
