Retrieve a user profile information by their ID.
AI agents call getUsersById 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 retrieves user profile data by ID. It is a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The retrieval of user profile information constitutes a Read operation. Severity is low as it only accesses profile data without affecting system state or enabling further actions. High confidence due to explicit 'Retrieve' language in the description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getUsersById' and description 'Retrieve a user profile information by their ID' indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a user profile information by their ID. 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 getUsersById: 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.
getUsersById 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 getUsersById 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 getUsersById. 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.
getUsersById 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.
getUsersById 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.
