# count_accounts_by_criteria Count accounts by various criteria (platform, safe, management status). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `count_accounts_by_criteria`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/count-accounts-by-criteria ## Facts - Tool: `count_accounts_by_criteria` - Server: CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server (`aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud.md - Homepage: https://github.com/aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "count_accounts_by_criteria", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why count_accounts_by_criteria is rated Low The tool performs a counting and querying operation on account metadata (filtering by platform, safe, management status). This is a non-destructive read operation with no side effects. It returns aggregate statistics only. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate accounts or discover organizational structure, but cannot modify, delete, or move resources. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'count_accounts_by_criteria' and description states it 'Count accounts by various criteria' — this is a query/aggregation operation that retrieves data without modifying or deleting anything." ## Use case AI agents call count_accounts_by_criteria to retrieve information from CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "count_accounts_by_criteria": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server (52) - `deactivate_target_platform` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/deactivate-target-platform.md - `delete_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-account.md - `delete_application` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-application.md - `delete_application_auth_method` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-application-auth-method.md - `delete_safe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-safe.md - `delete_target_platform` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-target-platform.md - `remove_safe_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/remove-safe-member.md - `import_platform_package` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/import-platform-package.md - `reconcile_account_password` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/reconcile-account-password.md - `verify_account_password` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/verify-account-password.md - `export_platform` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/export-platform.md - `analyze_account_distribution` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/analyze-account-distribution.md - `count_sessions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/count-sessions.md - `filter_accounts_by_environment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-environment.md - `filter_accounts_by_management_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-management-status.md - `filter_accounts_by_platform_group` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-platform-group.md - `get_account_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-account-details.md - `get_application_auth_method_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-application-auth-method-details.md - `get_application_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-application-details.md - `get_applications_stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-applications-stats.md - `get_platform_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-platform-details.md - `get_platform_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-platform-statistics.md - `get_safe_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-safe-details.md - `get_safe_member_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-safe-member-details.md - `get_session_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-session-details.md - `get_session_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-session-statistics.md - `get_target_platform_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-target-platform-statistics.md - `group_accounts_by_platform` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/group-accounts-by-platform.md - `group_accounts_by_safe` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/group-accounts-by-safe.md - `list_accounts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/list-accounts.md - …and 22 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
