Why list_eth_qos_policies needs a policy

This tool retrieves/queries existing Ethernet QoS policy configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing them. The 'list' verb is a standard Read operation. Severity is low because inadvertent listing of policies poses minimal risk compared to modifying infrastructure or financial impact. High confidence due to clear, unambiguous semantics of the 'list' operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_eth_qos_policies' and description 'List all Ethernet QoS policies' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution of policies—purely a query operation.

How to control list_eth_qos_policies

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 list_eth_qos_policies:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_eth_qos_policies": {}
  }
}

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

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