Load AWS Security Groups and Network ACLs configuration directly from AWS, or get summary of already-loaded configuration.
AI agents call get_config to retrieve information from Network Security Control Reviews without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves or queries existing AWS security configuration data. The verbs 'Load' and 'get summary' indicate read-only operations that have no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. While the data retrieved could be sensitive (security configuration details), the tool itself performs no destructive, write, execute, or financial operations. This is a straightforward Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Load AWS Security Groups and Network ACLs configuration directly from AWS, or get summary of already-loaded configuration' — purely retrieval and query operations with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Load AWS Security Groups and Network ACLs configuration directly from AWS, or get summary of already-loaded configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Network Security Control Reviews MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Network Security Control Reviews MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_config: 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 Network Security Control Reviews. Nothing to install.
get_config 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_config 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_config. 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_config is provided by the Network Security Control Reviews MCP server (joshdoesit/network-security-control-reviews-with-mcp-and-llms). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
