List all memory units with health and capacity information
AI agents call list_memory_units 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 retrieves monitoring and inventory data from Intersight about memory hardware in managed infrastructure. It performs no state changes, executes no code, and has no destructive or financial implications. The action is purely informational (list/get pattern), making it a standard Read operation with low risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_memory_units' and description 'List all memory units with health and capacity information' indicate a read-only operation that queries and retrieves existing data about memory hardware without modification, creation, or deletion.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_memory_units 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_memory_units:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_memory_units": {}
}
}list_memory_units 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 memory units with health and capacity information. 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_memory_units: 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_memory_units 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_memory_units 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_memory_units. 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_memory_units 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.
