AI agents call list_graphics_cards 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 and returns information about graphics cards in the infrastructure without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation that retrieves hardware telemetry data, consistent with the server's capability to monitor data center infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_graphics_cards' and description states 'List all graphics cards (GPUs)'. The verb 'list' is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_graphics_cards gives an agent:
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_graphics_cards:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_graphics_cards": {}
}
}list_graphics_cards is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List all graphics cards (GPUs). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Intersight MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Intersight MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_graphics_cards: 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 Intersight MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_graphics_cards 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 list_graphics_cards 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 list_graphics_cards. 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.
list_graphics_cards 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.
Free to start. No card required.
