What network-ls does on Cargo

AI agents call network-ls to retrieve information from Cargo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why network-ls is rated Low

This is a passive information retrieval operation. It lists Docker network configurations and metadata (driver, scope) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius is minimal—worst case, an AI agent gains visibility into local Docker network topology, which is non-destructive and typically not sensitive in isolation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'network-ls' and description 'Lists Docker networks with structured driver and scope information' indicate a read-only operation that queries and returns information about existing Docker networks without modifying or executing actions.

Questions about network-ls

What does the network-ls tool do? +

Lists Docker networks with structured driver and scope information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cargo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on network-ls? +

Register the Cargo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network-ls: 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 Cargo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is network-ls? +

network-ls is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit network-ls? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network-ls 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.

How do I block network-ls completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network-ls. 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.

What MCP server provides network-ls? +

network-ls is provided by the Cargo MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
