WHAT IT DOES

What aos_s_show does on Hpe Networking

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

RISK

Why aos_s_show is rated Low

The tool exclusively runs 'show' commands, which are read-only diagnostic/monitoring commands on network switches. No data is modified or deleted. Medium severity because it exposes potentially sensitive network topology, configuration, and state information from infrastructure devices, and misuse could reveal security-relevant details.

From the tool's definition Run 'show' commands on an AOS-S switch (all must start with 'show ')

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs aos_s_show safely

aos_s_show Allowed

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