Retrieve multiple users profile information by their IDs.
AI agents call getUsersByIds 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 data (user profile information) based on provided IDs with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a straightforward query operation falling squarely into the Read category with low severity, as profile data retrieval poses minimal risk compared to other tool categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getUsersByIds' and description 'Retrieve multiple users profile information by their IDs' indicate a read operation that queries user profiles without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve multiple users profile information by their IDs. 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 getUsersByIds: 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.
getUsersByIds 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 getUsersByIds 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 getUsersByIds. 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.
getUsersByIds 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.
getUsersByIds 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.
