Get detailed information about a specific advisory
AI agents call get_tam_advisory to retrieve information from Intersight MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries advisory information from the Cisco Intersight API. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification, execution, or destructive language clearly indicate a read-only operation. The tool retrieves data about security or infrastructure advisories without altering any state. This poses minimal risk in a security context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tam_advisory' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific advisory' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

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_tam_advisory:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_tam_advisory": {}
}
}get_tam_advisory is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_tam_advisory is provided by the Intersight MCP Server MCP server (jim-coyne/intersight_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Intersight MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
