What get_network does on HUDU MCP Server

AI agents call get_network to retrieve information from HUDU MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_network needs a policy

This is a straightforward read operation that queries and returns network information from the HUDU platform. It has no side effects—it retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing network documentation/configuration data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_network' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific network' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion capability.

How to control get_network

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HUDU MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_network:

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

get_network 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 HUDU 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.
