Get a description of the robot and instructions for the user. Run it before using any other tool.
AI agents call get_initial_instructions to retrieve information from SO-ARM100 Robot Control MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static descriptive information and instructions—it queries data about the robot configuration and guidance for operators. No state changes, no external operations triggered, no irreversible actions. This is a pure read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. The low severity reflects that retrieving instructional metadata poses negligible harm potential.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_initial_instructions' and description 'Get a description of the robot and instructions for the user' indicate retrieval of informational content with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a description of the robot and instructions for the user. Run it before using any other tool. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SO-ARM100 Robot Control MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SO-ARM100 Robot Control MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_initial_instructions: 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 SO-ARM100 Robot Control MCP. Nothing to install.
get_initial_instructions 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 get_initial_instructions 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 get_initial_instructions. 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.
get_initial_instructions is provided by the SO-ARM100 Robot Control MCP server (yunis147/mcp_robot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_initial_instructions is one line of SO-ARM100 Robot Control's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
