What kaiten_get_space does on Kaiten

AI agents call kaiten_get_space to retrieve information from Kaiten without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why kaiten_get_space needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves information about a Kaiten space by ID. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The only action is fetching and returning existing data, which is characteristic of Read category operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'kaiten_get_space' and description states 'Get space details by ID' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. The parameter is space_id (lookup only) and format (output control). No create, update, delete, or execute keywords present.

POLICY

How to control kaiten_get_space

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kaiten, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for kaiten_get_space:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "kaiten_get_space": {}
  }
}

kaiten_get_space is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Kaiten — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
