Get a comprehensive overview of an Appstack application including basic info, environments, and recent orchestrations in one read-only call. Use this after discovering applications via list_applications or list_attached_apps.
AI agents call get_application_overview to retrieve information from Yunxiao without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'read-only call' and retrieves 'comprehensive overview of an Appstack application including basic info, environments, and recent orchestrations'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a comprehensive overview of an Appstack application including basic info, environments, and recent orchestrations in one read-only call. Use this after discovering applications via list_applications or list_attached_apps. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yunxiao MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_application_overview accepts 6 parameters: appName, envLimit, organizationId, orchestrationLimit, includeEnvironments, includeOrchestrations. Required: appName. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Yunxiao MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_application_overview: 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 Yunxiao. Nothing to install.
get_application_overview 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_application_overview 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_application_overview. 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_application_overview is provided by the Yunxiao MCP server (@futuretea/yunxiao-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
