WHAT IT DOES

What DescribeDevices does on Ioacloud

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

RISK

Why DescribeDevices is rated Low

Even though DescribeDevices only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs DescribeDevices safely

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

DescribeDevices Allowed

DescribeDevices 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": {
    "DescribeDevices": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about DescribeDevices

What does the DescribeDevices tool do? +

What parameters does DescribeDevices accept? +

DescribeDevices accepts 12 parameters: Sort, OsType, Status, Filters, GroupId, PageNum, GroupIds, NewScope, PageSize, Condition, DeviceIds, LoginType. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on DescribeDevices? +

Register the Ioacloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for DescribeDevices: 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 Ioacloud. Nothing to install.

What risk level is DescribeDevices? +

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

Can I rate-limit DescribeDevices? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the DescribeDevices 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 DescribeDevices completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for DescribeDevices. 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 DescribeDevices? +

DescribeDevices is provided by the Ioacloud MCP server (@ioacloud/ioacloud-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
