What getConnectionHistory does on Xdevplatform/xmcp
AI agents call getConnectionHistory to retrieve information from Xdevplatform/xmcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why getConnectionHistory is rated Low
This tool performs data retrieval of connection history and status records. The verb 'Retrieve' and the read-only nature of historical data access place it in the Read category. Severity is low because access to historical connection events carries minimal blast radius—it does not modify data, execute code, delete records, or trigger financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getConnectionHistory' and description 'Retrieve the history of connection events and status changes' indicate a query operation that retrieves historical data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getConnectionHistory safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Xdevplatform/xmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getConnectionHistory, this is the rule to start with:
getConnectionHistory is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Xdevplatform/xmcp, apply this rule, and every getConnectionHistory call is checked against it from then on.

Retrieve the history of connection events and status changes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xdevplatform/xmcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xdevplatform/x MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getConnectionHistory: 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 Xdevplatform/xmcp. Nothing to install.
getConnectionHistory 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 getConnectionHistory 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 getConnectionHistory. 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.
getConnectionHistory is provided by the Xdevplatform/x MCP server (xdevplatform/xmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
