Fetch a single incident with its full check history and root-cause hints.
AI agents call vs_incidents_get to retrieve information from Visual Sentinel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical incident data and diagnostics for viewing purposes only. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could view incident records they may not have authorization for, but cannot create, modify, delete incidents or trigger external actions. The 'root-cause hints' are analytical output, not code execution or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Fetch a single incident with its full check history'—purely a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.

Fetch a single incident with its full check history and root-cause hints. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Visual Sentinel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Visual Sentinel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vs_incidents_get: 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 Visual Sentinel MCP Server. Nothing to install.
vs_incidents_get 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 vs_incidents_get 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 vs_incidents_get. 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.
vs_incidents_get is provided by the Visual Sentinel MCP Server MCP server (visualsentinel/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
