AI agents call get_vas_order to retrieve information from SIMcloud without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
order_id | integer | — | |
transaction_id | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and retrieves order information by identifier (order_id or transaction_id). It performs a data lookup operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any state-changing actions. The use of 'Fetches' in the description confirms it is a read-only operation. VAS (Value-Added Services) order lookup poses minimal risk as it only exposes existing order data.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' and description states it 'Fetches an API-created VAS order', indicating retrieval of existing data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetches an API-created VAS order by order_id or transaction_id. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SIMcloud MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_vas_order accepts 2 parameters: order_id, transaction_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the SIMcloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_vas_order: 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 SIMcloud. Nothing to install.
get_vas_order 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_vas_order 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_vas_order. 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_vas_order is provided by the SIMcloud MCP server (https://simcloud.co.za/api/mcp.php). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_vas_order is one line of SIMcloud's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
