WHAT IT DOES

What reboot_ap_swarm does on Hpe Networking

AI agents invoke reboot_ap_swarm to trigger actions in Hpe Networking. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why reboot_ap_swarm is rated High

This tool triggers a reboot of an entire AP swarm/cluster, which is an external operational action causing service disruption across multiple devices. It is not merely destructive (data is not lost) but executes a significant operational command with wide blast radius — rebooting an entire wireless cluster would cause network outages affecting all connected clients.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs reboot_ap_swarm 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 reboot_ap_swarm, this is the rule to start with:

reboot_ap_swarm Rate-limited

reboot_ap_swarm stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
