What get_terminal_list does on Ikuai
AI agents call get_terminal_list 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_terminal_list is rated Low
This tool retrieves network monitoring information about connected devices. While it performs no modifications or destructive actions, the data it exposes (device IPs, MACs, hostnames, traffic patterns, connection counts) could be sensitive in a network environment, particularly if an attacker uses it to map network topology or identify devices for targeting.
From the tool's definition get_terminal_list retrieves monitoring data including IP addresses, MAC addresses, hostnames, traffic statistics, and connection counts of online devices.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_terminal_list 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_terminal_list, this is the rule to start with:
get_terminal_list 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_terminal_list call is checked against it from then on.
