Calculate observed throughput per conversation (Mbps) from a pcap file.
AI agents call analyze_throughput to retrieve information from Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and processes packet capture data to derive statistics. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only queries and calculates metrics from existing pcap files. No side effects or state changes result from its use. The capability to read and analyze network captures is a standard diagnostic function with minimal risk when constrained to input files.
From the tool's definition Tool performs analysis and calculation of throughput metrics from an existing pcap file. The verb 'analyze' and 'calculate' indicate data retrieval and computation without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Calculate observed throughput per conversation (Mbps) from a pcap file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Network MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Network MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_throughput: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_throughput 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 analyze_throughput 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 analyze_throughput. 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.
analyze_throughput is provided by the Network MCP Server MCP server (labeveryday/network-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
