AI agents call list_sdcard_policies 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 and enumerates existing SD card policies from the Intersight system. Listing operations are read-only queries that do not modify, delete, or execute any infrastructure changes. The blast radius if misused by an agent is minimal—at most, an LLM could learn about policy configurations, which poses no immediate operational or security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_sdcard_policies' and description 'List all SD card policies' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_sdcard_policies 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_sdcard_policies:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_sdcard_policies": {}
}
}list_sdcard_policies 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 SD card policies. 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_sdcard_policies: 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_sdcard_policies 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_sdcard_policies 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_sdcard_policies. 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_sdcard_policies 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.
