Get motion events
AI agents call unifi_get_events to retrieve information from Garza Home MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves sensor/camera event data without side effects. It performs a query operation (get/fetch pattern) typical of Read category tools. The motion events are already recorded and the tool merely accesses them. Low severity because reading camera events poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent—the worst case is information disclosure of what motion was detected, not physical action or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unifi_get_events' with description 'Get motion events' indicates retrieval of historical or current motion detection data from UniFi cameras/sensors with no modification or execution of external actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get motion events. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Garza Home MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Garza Home MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unifi_get_events: 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 Garza Home MCP. Nothing to install.
unifi_get_events 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 unifi_get_events 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 unifi_get_events. 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.
unifi_get_events is provided by the Garza Home MCP server (itsablabla/garza-home-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
