What get_protocol_control does on Ikuai
AI agents call get_protocol_control to retrieve information from Ikuai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_protocol_control is rated Low
This tool queries existing protocol control settings on the iKuai router. Reading configuration data has minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing it would only expose information about protocol policies, not modify systems or cause harm. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition get_protocol_control retrieves protocol control configuration (获取协议控制配置). The 'get_' prefix and action of retrieving configuration indicates a read-only query operation with no data modification or destructive effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_protocol_control safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ikuai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_protocol_control, this is the rule to start with:
get_protocol_control 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 Ikuai, apply this rule, and every get_protocol_control call is checked against it from then on.

获取协议控制配置. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ikuai MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ikuai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_protocol_control: 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 Ikuai. Nothing to install.
get_protocol_control 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_protocol_control 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_protocol_control. 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_protocol_control is provided by the Ikuai MCP server (gxxHuang/ikuai-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
