获取当前设备的进程信息
AI agents call getProcesses to retrieve information from Current operating environment without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves process information from the operating environment—a read-only operation with no side effects. While exposure of process information could aid reconnaissance or privilege escalation attacks (justifying 'medium' severity rather than 'low'), the tool itself performs no destructive, financial, or code execution actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getProcesses' and description '获取当前设备的进程信息' (get current device process information) indicate retrieval/query of system process data without modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
获取当前设备的进程信息. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Current operating environment MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Current operating environment MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getProcesses: 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 Current operating environment. Nothing to install.
getProcesses 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 getProcesses 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 getProcesses. 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.
getProcesses is provided by the Current operating environment MCP server (jackxuyi/env-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
