WHAT IT DOES

What module_show does on CLIO Adios

AI agents call module_show 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.

RISK

Why module_show is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays information about a module without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only informational operation typical of system module inspection tools (like 'module show' in HPC environments), which simply return metadata about available software modules. No destructive, financial, or external execution capability is evident.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'module_show' and description 'Display detailed information about a specific module' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs module_show 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_show, this is the rule to start with:

module_show Allowed

module_show is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "module_show": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CLIO Adios, apply this rule, and every module_show call is checked against it from then on.
