get_context

Retrieve a token-bounded context bundle for a Beyond Wine topic, including entity summary and optional claims or graph data.

Part of the Beyond Wine server.

get_context is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_context to retrieve information from Beyond Wine without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_context only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_context gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_context only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_context tool do? +

Retrieve a token-bounded context bundle for a Beyond Wine topic, including entity summary and optional claims or graph data.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Beyond Wine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_context? +

Register the Beyond Wine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_context: 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 Beyond Wine. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_context? +

get_context is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_context? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_context 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.

How do I block get_context completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_context. 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.

What MCP server provides get_context? +

get_context is provided by the Beyond Wine MCP server (https://beyond.wine/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
