network-ls

What network-ls does on Git

AI agents call network-ls to retrieve information from Git 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 tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves and displays Docker network configuration data. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain visibility into Docker network topology, which is informational but not immediately actionable for system compromise.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'network-ls' and description 'Lists Docker networks' indicate a query/list operation that retrieves network information without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.

The rule that runs network-ls safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Git, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For network-ls, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "network-ls": {}
  }
}
