AI agents call central_get_gateway_cluster to retrieve information from Central without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on naming convention alignment with confirmed read-only sibling tools and the server's stated purpose of enabling queries through natural language, this tool retrieves gateway cluster information without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'central_get_gateway_cluster' follows the pattern of sibling tools (central_get_alerts, central_get_aps, central_get_clients, central_get_devices) which are all read operations that retrieve network infrastructure data from HPE Aruba Networking…

central_get_gateway_cluster. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Central MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for central_get_gateway_cluster: 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 Central. Nothing to install.
central_get_gateway_cluster 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 central_get_gateway_cluster 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 central_get_gateway_cluster. 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.
central_get_gateway_cluster is provided by the Central MCP server (karthikskumar98/central-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
