WHAT IT DOES

What find_scope does on Hpe Networking

AI agents call find_scope 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 find_scope is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries scope information based on search criteria. The verb 'find' combined with the parameter options (name, ID substring, scope_type filter) describes a read-only lookup operation. There are no side effects, data modifications, code execution, or destructive actions indicated.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_scope' and description 'Find scopes by name or ID substring, optionally narrowed by scope_type' indicate a search/query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs find_scope safely

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

find_scope Allowed

find_scope 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": {
    "find_scope": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about find_scope

What does the find_scope tool do? +

Find scopes by name or ID substring, optionally narrowed by scope_type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hpe Networking MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_scope? +

Register the Hpe Networking MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_scope: 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 Hpe Networking. Nothing to install.

What risk level is find_scope? +

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

Can I rate-limit find_scope? +

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

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

find_scope is provided by the Hpe Networking MCP server (secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
