WHAT IT DOES

What get_network_connections does on Procmon

AI agents call get_network_connections to retrieve information from Procmon without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_network_connections is rated Low

This tool queries existing network connection information (read-only access to system state), similar to netstat or Get-NetTCPConnection. It has no side effects, does not execute code, create/modify data, or delete anything.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'TCP and/or UDP endpoints with owning process' without modifying or executing anything. The description indicates data retrieval of network connection state only.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_network_connections safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Procmon, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_network_connections, this is the rule to start with:

get_network_connections Allowed

get_network_connections is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_network_connections": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Procmon, apply this rule, and every get_network_connections call is checked against it from then on.
