[CUSTOM] Calls the Marketo REST API directly (not Adobe's native MCP).
AI agents call custom_get_user_by_id to retrieve information from Marketo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get' verb and '_by_id' suffix indicate this retrieves/queries user information without modifying or deleting data. This is a Read operation. However, severity is medium rather than low because: (1) it accesses user/contact data which is sensitive in a marketing automation platform, and (2) the custom implementation bypassing Adobe's native MCP could pose integration or security risks if not properly validated.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_user_by_id' indicating retrieval of user data. Description states it 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly', which is a query/fetch operation without stated side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
[CUSTOM] Calls the Marketo REST API directly (not Adobe's native MCP). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Marketo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Marketo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for custom_get_user_by_id: 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 Marketo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
custom_get_user_by_id 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 custom_get_user_by_id 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 custom_get_user_by_id. 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.
custom_get_user_by_id is provided by the Marketo MCP Server MCP server (tyron-pretorius/marketo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
