Get all contacts or a specific contact by phone number
AI agents call get_contacts to retrieve information from AutoBot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of contact data with no side effects. While contacts are sensitive PII, the tool itself cannot create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The risk is restricted to information disclosure, making it a Read category with low severity since the exposure depends on the device being compromised (an already-critical prerequisite).
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves contact information ('Get all contacts or a specific contact by phone number'). No modification, deletion, or execution occurs.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all contacts or a specific contact by phone number. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoBot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AutoBot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_contacts: 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 AutoBot MCP. Nothing to install.
get_contacts 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_contacts 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_contacts. 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_contacts is provided by the AutoBot MCP server (yz0903/autobot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
