What get_node_info does on CLIO Adios
AI agents call get_node_info to retrieve information from CLIO Adios without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_node_info is rated Low
This tool retrieves metadata about cluster nodes (CPU count, memory, state, etc.) without side effects. It is a read-only query operation analogous to 'list' or 'get'. No data is modified, code is executed, or resources are allocated by this tool alone. Severity is low because misuse would only expose non-sensitive infrastructure metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_node_info' and description states 'Get information about Slurm cluster nodes and their resources' — purely informational retrieval with no modification, execution, or deletion capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_node_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CLIO Adios, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_node_info, this is the rule to start with:
get_node_info 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 CLIO Adios, apply this rule, and every get_node_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_node_info
Get information about Slurm cluster nodes and their resources. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CLIO Adios MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CLIO Adios MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_node_info: 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 CLIO Adios. Nothing to install.
get_node_info 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_node_info 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_node_info. 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_node_info is provided by the CLIO Adios MCP server (pypi:clio-kit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
