What getUsersById does on Xdevplatform/xmcp
AI agents call getUsersById 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 getUsersById is rated Low
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
The rule that runs getUsersById 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 getUsersById, this is the rule to start with:
getUsersById 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 getUsersById call is checked against it from then on.
