Get detailed class information including structure

How to control get_class_info ↓

AI agents call get_class_info to retrieve information from JVM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and displays information about Java classes (metadata, structure, fields, methods) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a passive diagnostic operation typical of JVM monitoring platforms like Arthas, with no side effects beyond returning data to the requestor.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_class_info' with description 'Get detailed class information including structure' indicates retrieval of class metadata.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_class_info gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and JVM MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_class_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_class_info": {}
  }
}

get_class_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register JVM MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the get_class_info tool do? +

Get detailed class information including structure. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JVM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_class_info? +

Register the JVM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_class_info: 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 JVM MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_class_info? +

get_class_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_class_info? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_class_info 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.

How do I block get_class_info completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_class_info. 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.

What MCP server provides get_class_info? +

get_class_info is provided by the JVM MCP Server MCP server (xzq-xu/jvm-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every JVM MCP Server tool call.
