WHAT IT DOES

What ssh_list_profiles does on Terminal Guardian

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

RISK

Why ssh_list_profiles is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing SSH profile configuration data. It does not execute commands, modify configurations, delete profiles, or trigger external operations. The action is purely informational inventory of SSH settings.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ssh_list_profiles' with description 'List all configured SSH profiles' — the verb 'list' indicates data retrieval without modification or execution. Returns metadata about SSH configurations (host, port, username, auth method) with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ssh_list_profiles safely

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

ssh_list_profiles Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

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