Get Redis server information and statistics.
AI agents call info to retrieve information from Redis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves operational metadata and statistics about the Redis server itself—a read-only operation with no capability to modify data, execute commands, or cause side effects. The query carries minimal risk as it only exposes server state information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'info' and description 'Get Redis server information and statistics' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get Redis server information and statistics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Redis MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Redis MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Redis MCP Server. Nothing to install.
info 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 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.
info is provided by the Redis MCP Server MCP server (yuchenhui/mcp-redis). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
