WHAT IT DOES

What list_accelerator_types does on Mcp

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`zone`	string	Yes	Required. The zone of the accelerator types.
`project`	string	Yes	Required. Project ID for this request.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why list_accelerator_types is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries metadata about available accelerator types in GCP. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete resources. It is purely informational, similar to a read-only API call. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover what accelerator types exist in a project, which is low-sensitivity infrastructure metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_accelerator_types' and description states it 'Lists the available Google Compute Engine accelerator types' and 'Returns accelerator types, including id, creation timestamp, name, description, deprecated, zone, and maximum cards per instance.'…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_accelerator_types safely

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

list_accelerator_types Allowed

list_accelerator_types 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": {
    "list_accelerator_types": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about list_accelerator_types

What does the list_accelerator_types tool do? +

Lists the available Google Compute Engine accelerator types. Requires project and zone as input. Returns accelerator types, including id, creation timestamp, name, description, deprecated, zone, and maximum cards per instance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does list_accelerator_types accept? +

list_accelerator_types accepts 2 parameters: zone, project. Required: zone, project. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on list_accelerator_types? +

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

What risk level is list_accelerator_types? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_accelerator_types? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_accelerator_types 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 list_accelerator_types completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_accelerator_types. 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 list_accelerator_types? +

list_accelerator_types is provided by the MCP server (https://compute.googleapis.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
