get_ovnk_latency_metrics
AI agents call get_ovnk_latency_metrics to retrieve information from OpenShift OVN-Kubernetes Benchmark MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix and naming pattern consistent with other metrics retrieval tools on this benchmarking server indicate this tool retrieves latency data without modification or execution. Despite the empty description limiting direct evidence, the tool context and sibling tools all perform read-only monitoring and analysis operations typical of observability platforms.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ovnk_latency_metrics' indicates data retrieval (get prefix) of performance metrics. Sibling tools on the server are all query/analysis/monitoring operations with no side effects (query_cluster_node_usage, query_kube_api_metrics,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_ovnk_latency_metrics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenShift OVN-Kubernetes Benchmark MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenShift OVN-Kubernetes Benchmark MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ovnk_latency_metrics: 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 OpenShift OVN-Kubernetes Benchmark MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_ovnk_latency_metrics 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 get_ovnk_latency_metrics 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 get_ovnk_latency_metrics. 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.
get_ovnk_latency_metrics is provided by the OpenShift OVN-Kubernetes Benchmark MCP Server MCP server (liqcui/ovnk-benchmark-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
