Get current ZugaShield configuration
AI agents call get_config to retrieve information from ZugaShield without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns configuration data without modifying, executing, deleting, or creating any resources. It is a read-only operation that retrieves the current state of the security system's settings. While the configuration itself relates to security, the tool action itself is non-destructive information retrieval, placing it in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_config' and description states 'Get current ZugaShield configuration', indicating a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current ZugaShield configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ZugaShield MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ZugaShield MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_config: 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 ZugaShield. Nothing to install.
get_config 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_config 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_config. 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_config is provided by the ZugaShield MCP server (zuga-technologies/zugashield). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_config is one line of ZugaShield's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
