This tool retrieves configuration details about an existing fabric link control policy. The use of 'get' and 'details' explicitly indicates a read-only query operation. There are no side effects, no data modification, no execution of commands, and no destructive actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access information already available through the Intersight API.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_fabric_link_control_policy' and description 'Get details of a specific link control policy' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of state.

How to control get_fabric_link_control_policy

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Intersight MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_fabric_link_control_policy:

policy.json

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

get_fabric_link_control_policy is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Intersight MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
