WHAT IT DOES

What network_get_interfaces does on Aapanel

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

RISK

Why network_get_interfaces is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves network interface metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation with minimal security impact even if misused by an AI agent, as the attacker would only gain visibility into network configuration already present on the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get network interface information'. The operation retrieves read-only network configuration data (IPs, MAC, gateway, DNS) with no side effects or modifications.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs network_get_interfaces safely

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

network_get_interfaces Allowed

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Questions about network_get_interfaces

What does the network_get_interfaces tool do? +

Get network interface information (IPs, MAC, gateway, DNS). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Aapanel MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on network_get_interfaces? +

Register the Aapanel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network_get_interfaces: 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 Aapanel. Nothing to install.

What risk level is network_get_interfaces? +

network_get_interfaces is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit network_get_interfaces? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network_get_interfaces 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.

How do I block network_get_interfaces completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network_get_interfaces. 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.

What MCP server provides network_get_interfaces? +

network_get_interfaces is provided by the Aapanel MCP server (nipunanirmal/aapanel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
