Get use-case recipes showing which MCP tools to call and in what order. Call with no arguments for an index of all recipes, or pass a slug to get the full recipe detail.
AI agents call get_guidance to retrieve information from Valets Schema 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 guidance documentation or recipes. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute external operations. It is purely informational retrieval, fitting the Read category with low severity and low risk of misuse by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_guidance' and description indicates retrieval of 'recipes showing which MCP tools to call' — a documentation/reference lookup function with 'no arguments for an index' and 'pass a slug to get detail', both read operations.

Get use-case recipes showing which MCP tools to call and in what order. Call with no arguments for an index of all recipes, or pass a slug to get the full recipe detail. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Valets Schema MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Valets Schema MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_guidance: 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 Valets Schema. Nothing to install.
get_guidance 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_guidance 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_guidance. 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_guidance is provided by the Valets Schema MCP server (@ingenx-io/valets-schema-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
