AI agents call get_spec to retrieve information from Aiprox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns a specification document (the AIProx agent manifest schema). It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving financial assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_spec' and description 'Returns the full spec for registering agents' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and 'Returns' confirm read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the AIProx agent manifest specification. Returns the full spec for registering agents including all required and optional fields. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Aiprox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Aiprox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_spec: 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 Aiprox. Nothing to install.
get_spec 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_spec 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_spec. 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_spec is provided by the Aiprox MCP server (unixlamadev-spec/aiprox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
