WHAT IT DOES

What console does on GNS3 MCP Server

AI agents invoke console to trigger actions in GNS3 MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why console is rated High

In GNS3 context, a 'console' tool almost certainly provides access to device consoles (routers, switches, etc.), enabling command execution on network devices. This is an Execute-level capability with high blast radius since misuse could reconfigure or disrupt network infrastructure. Confidence is moderate due to empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'console' on a GNS3 network automation server that handles 'consoles' per the server description. Description is empty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs console safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GNS3 MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For console, this is the rule to start with:

console Rate-limited

console stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "console": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "console_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GNS3 MCP Server, apply this rule, and every console call is checked against it from then on.
