Get current server configuration or specific section
AI agents call config-get to retrieve information from MCP Index Notes without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation querying stored configuration state. The low severity reflects minimal risk—exposing configuration details could inform further attacks but causes no direct harm by itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'config-get' and description 'Get current server configuration or specific section' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current server configuration or specific section. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Index Notes MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Index Notes MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for config-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 MCP Index Notes. Nothing to install.
config-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 config-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 config-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.
config-get is provided by the MCP Index Notes MCP server (vjsr007/mcp-index-notes). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
