Query the oscilloscope internal date and time.
AI agents call scope_get_date to retrieve information from LeCroy Oscilloscope MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple query operation to retrieve the oscilloscope's internal date and time. It has no side effects, does not modify any settings or data, and presents minimal security risk. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an attacker could only observe timing information, which does not impact instrument operation, safety, or data integrity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scope_get_date' and description 'Query the oscilloscope internal date and time' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves system time information without modifying any state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Query the oscilloscope internal date and time. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LeCroy Oscilloscope MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LeCroy Oscilloscope MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scope_get_date: 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 LeCroy Oscilloscope MCP. Nothing to install.
scope_get_date 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 scope_get_date 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 scope_get_date. 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.
scope_get_date is provided by the LeCroy Oscilloscope MCP server (lucasgerads/lecroy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
