WHAT IT DOES

What DescribeSoftWares does on Ioacloud

AI agents call DescribeSoftWares 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`OsType`	number	—	os类型(只支持32位)
`GroupId`	number	—	分组id(只支持32位)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why DescribeSoftWares is rated Low

Even though DescribeSoftWares 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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

DescribeSoftWares Allowed

DescribeSoftWares 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": {
    "DescribeSoftWares": {}
  }
}

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 DescribeSoftWares call is checked against it from then on.
