Query OVN-Kubernetes pod resource usage metrics including CPU, memory consumption,
AI agents call query_ovnk_pods_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.
This tool queries existing metrics from OVN-Kubernetes pods to read performance data. It is purely observational and returns information about resource usage without modifying cluster state, executing commands, or causing destructive changes. The 'query' operation and metric-retrieval nature place it firmly in the Read category with low severity due to its non-invasive, informational purpose.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains "query" and description states it retrieves "pod resource usage metrics including CPU, memory consumption" - a data retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Query OVN-Kubernetes pod resource usage metrics including CPU, memory consumption,. 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 query_ovnk_pods_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.
query_ovnk_pods_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 query_ovnk_pods_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 query_ovnk_pods_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.
query_ovnk_pods_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.
