Verify the current API token and return token details (name, scopes, expiry) and account info.
AI agents call whoami to retrieve information from TrekMail MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns information about the current authentication token and account. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and cannot be misused to cause significant harm beyond information disclosure about the API token itself.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Verify the current API token and return token details (name, scopes, expiry) and account info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TrekMail MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TrekMail MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for whoami: 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 TrekMail MCP Server. Nothing to install.
whoami 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 whoami 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 whoami. 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.
whoami is provided by the TrekMail MCP Server MCP server (trekmail/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
