[System] Get the CyPerf server time.
AI agents call system_get_time 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 is a straightforward read operation that queries and returns the current server time. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. The worst outcome would be obtaining incorrect time information, which is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'system_get_time' and description 'Get the CyPerf server time' indicate a query operation that retrieves system time information without modifying state or executing arbitrary operations.

[System] Get the CyPerf server time. 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 system_get_time: 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.
system_get_time 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 system_get_time 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 system_get_time. 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.
system_get_time 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.
