Open an ODB file (read-only) and return its metadata.
AI agents call get_odb_info to retrieve information from Codex MCP Abaqus without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information from an ODB (Abaqus output database) file in read-only mode. It performs a query operation that returns metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing code. The read-only constraint ensures no destructive or state-altering operations can occur, placing it squarely in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Open an ODB file (read-only) and return its metadata.' The read-only qualifier and metadata-retrieval nature indicate no data modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Open an ODB file (read-only) and return its metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codex MCP Abaqus MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codex MCP Abaqus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_odb_info: 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 Codex MCP Abaqus. Nothing to install.
get_odb_info 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_odb_info 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_odb_info. 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_odb_info is provided by the Codex MCP Abaqus MCP server (zhangyoupeng1996/codex_mcp_abaqus). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
