Get system statistics information, including memory usage, terminal count, etc
AI agents call get_stats to retrieve information from Ai Mcp Terminal without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries system statistics (memory usage, terminal count) without side effects. It is purely informational and read-only. While the server enables command execution through sibling tools (execute_command, broadcast_command, etc.), this specific tool only gathers diagnostic data. Low severity because misuse poses minimal risk—an agent querying stats cannot harm systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stats' and description 'Get system statistics information, including memory usage, terminal count, etc' indicate retrieval of monitoring data with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get system statistics information, including memory usage, terminal count, etc. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_stats: 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 Ai Mcp Terminal. Nothing to install.
get_stats 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_stats 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_stats. 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_stats is provided by the Ai Mcp Terminal MCP server (kanniganfan/ai-mcp-terminal). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
