scope_scan
AI agents call scope_scan 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.
The tool is most likely a Read operation that scans/lists oscilloscope properties or connected devices, consistent with oscilloscope remote control workflows. Without an explicit description, confidence is reduced, but the naming pattern and context of measurement instruments strongly suggest non-destructive querying.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scope_scan' in a LeCroy oscilloscope context strongly suggests scanning or querying oscilloscope state without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
scope_scan. 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_scan: 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_scan 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_scan 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_scan. 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_scan 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.
scope_scan is one line of LeCroy Oscilloscope's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
