What local_ydb_inventory does on Local Ydb
AI agents call local_ydb_inventory to retrieve information from Local Ydb without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why local_ydb_inventory is rated Low
This tool only retrieves and queries Docker inventory data with no side effects. It is explicitly labeled read-only and performs inspection/enumeration activities typical of Read category tools. The blast radius if misused by an AI agent is minimal—it cannot modify, delete, or execute operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs local_ydb_inventory safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Local Ydb, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For local_ydb_inventory, this is the rule to start with:
local_ydb_inventory is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Local Ydb, apply this rule, and every local_ydb_inventory call is checked against it from then on.
