This tool retrieves and queries monitoring data from Zabbix without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It is purely informational, aggregating metrics and statistics for consumption. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible. Low severity because misuse would only expose existing monitoring data that is typically already accessible to authorized Zabbix users.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] overall infrastructure health summary' and 'Returns health score, problem counts by severity, host statistics, and critical action items' — all read-only query operations with no modification, deletion, or…

How to control zabbix_get_infrastructure_health

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Zabbix MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for zabbix_get_infrastructure_health:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "zabbix_get_infrastructure_health": {}
  }
}

zabbix_get_infrastructure_health is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Zabbix MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
