get_security_list
AI agents call get_security_list to retrieve information from OCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Security lists in OCI are network ACLs that define inbound/outbound traffic rules. Retrieving this configuration is a read operation with no side effects. However, severity is medium rather than low because the data retrieved could reveal network security posture and ingress/egress rules that might be sensitive for an attacker to understand.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_security_list' indicates retrieval of security list configuration data from OCI. The prefix 'get_' is a strong signal for read-only query operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_security_list. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OCI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OCI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_security_list: 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 OCI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_security_list 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 get_security_list 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 get_security_list. 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.
get_security_list is provided by the OCI MCP Server MCP server (jopsis/mcp-server-oci). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
