What module_avail does on CLIO Adios
AI agents call module_avail 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 module_avail is rated Low
This tool performs a search/query operation to list or discover available modules, which is a classic Read category action. It has no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and cannot delete or modify anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only learn what modules are available, which is informational metadata typically already public in a shared computing environment.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'module_avail' and description 'Search for available modules, optionally filtered by name pattern' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves information about available software modules without modifying any state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs module_avail 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 module_avail, this is the rule to start with:
module_avail 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 module_avail call is checked against it from then on.
