[Licensing] Get information about an activation or entitlement code.
AI agents call licensing_get_code_info to retrieve information from CyPerf MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries licensing information (activation/entitlement codes) without side effects. It performs a read-only lookup operation. Misuse by an AI agent would only expose licensing details, not affect systems, execute code, or modify data. Severity is low due to limited blast radius, though information disclosure could be a minor concern depending on sensitivity of licensing data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'licensing_get_code_info' uses 'get' verb and description states 'Get information about' — purely retrieves licensing metadata with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
[Licensing] Get information about an activation or entitlement code. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CyPerf MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for licensing_get_code_info: 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 CyPerf MCP Server. Nothing to install.
licensing_get_code_info 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 licensing_get_code_info 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 licensing_get_code_info. 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.
licensing_get_code_info is provided by the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server (keysight/cyperf-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
