What glp_add_devices_bulk does on Hpe Networking
AI agents use glp_add_devices_bulk to create or update resources in Hpe Networking, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hpe Networking environment.
Why glp_add_devices_bulk is rated Medium
This tool creates or registers devices in the GreenLake Platform system, which is a reversible write operation. While it affects network infrastructure enrollment, the operation is not destructive (devices can be removed) and not financial. Severity is medium due to the potential blast radius of bulk device registration affecting platform inventory and access, but containable through admin actions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Bulk add devices to GLP' with devices containing 'serialNumber' and 'macAddress' — a bulk creation operation that modifies the GreenLake Platform inventory.

The rule that runs glp_add_devices_bulk 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 glp_add_devices_bulk, this is the rule to start with:
glp_add_devices_bulk stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 glp_add_devices_bulk call is checked against it from then on.

glp_add_devices_bulk is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the glp_add_devices_bulk 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.
