What list_ap_devices does on Ikuai
AI agents call list_ap_devices 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 list_ap_devices is rated Low

It is a pure information retrieval function, fitting the 'Read' category. The severity is low because listing AP devices poses minimal risk—it exposes network infrastructure details but does not enable unauthorized access, deletion, or financial impact.

The rule that runs list_ap_devices 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 list_ap_devices, this is the rule to start with:
list_ap_devices 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 list_ap_devices call is checked against it from then on.
