Get the download URL for a file
AI agents call get_file_url 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.
The tool retrieves file URL information without side effects. While it operates on an Android device automation platform, getting a download URL is fundamentally a data retrieval operation (Read category). Severity is low because URL retrieval alone has minimal blast radius—the actual file download/access depends on subsequent tool use.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_file_url' and description 'Get the download URL for a file' indicates retrieval of a URL without modifying or deleting data. This is a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the download URL for a file. 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_file_url: 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_file_url 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_file_url 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_file_url. 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_file_url 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.
