Retrieve multiple posts by their IDs in a single request.
AI agents call getPostsByIds to retrieve information from Xdevplatform/xmcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query/fetch operation to retrieve existing posts by their identifiers. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The retrieval of posts is a read-only operation with minimal risk of misuse, though context-dependent sensitivity of post content could warrant slightly elevated monitoring in practice.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getPostsByIds' and description 'Retrieve multiple posts by their IDs in a single request' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve multiple posts by their IDs in a single request. 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 getPostsByIds: 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.
getPostsByIds 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 getPostsByIds 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 getPostsByIds. 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.
getPostsByIds 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.
getPostsByIds is one line of Xdevplatform/x's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
