What get_cluster_members does on Hpe Networking
AI agents call get_cluster_members 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.
Why get_cluster_members is rated Low
This tool retrieves information about gateway cluster membership without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure query operation that returns data about the current state of cluster members. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could gather network topology information, but cannot alter infrastructure or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cluster_members' and description 'List members of a gateway cluster' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' and 'get' are characteristic of Read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_cluster_members 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 get_cluster_members, this is the rule to start with:
get_cluster_members is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hpe Networking, apply this rule, and every get_cluster_members call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_cluster_members
List members of a gateway cluster. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hpe Networking MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hpe Networking MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cluster_members: 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.
get_cluster_members is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_cluster_members 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_cluster_members. 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.
get_cluster_members 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.
