Return the current year.
AI agents call current_year to retrieve information from DateTime-LocalMCPServer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply reads and returns the current year from the host system. It has no side effects, writes no data, and cannot be misused to cause harm. Pure read operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Return the current year.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return the current year. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DateTime-LocalMCPServer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DateTime-LocalMCPServer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for current_year: 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 DateTime-LocalMCPServer. Nothing to install.
current_year 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 current_year 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 current_year. 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.
current_year is provided by the DateTime-LocalMCPServer MCP server (vikasprajapati1998/datetime-localmcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
current_year is one line of DateTime-LocalMCPServer's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
