Get Orion XS DC-DC converter data: battery voltage/current/temperature, input voltage/power, charge state, error code, switch position, and accumulated Ah. Use victron_discover to find the unit ID.
AI agents call victron_dcdc_status to retrieve information from Victron Tcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries real-time operational metrics from a Victron Orion XS DC-DC converter. It retrieves monitoring information for an energy management system but does not modify settings, execute commands, trigger state changes, or delete data. The read-only nature and absence of any action verbs suggesting writes, deletes, or external executions place this firmly in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves DC-DC converter status data including voltage, current, temperature, power, charge state, error codes, switch position, and accumulated Ah. Keywords: 'Get', 'data' indicate read-only operations with no side effects or data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get Orion XS DC-DC converter data: battery voltage/current/temperature, input voltage/power, charge state, error code, switch position, and accumulated Ah. Use victron_discover to find the unit ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Victron Tcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Victron Tcp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for victron_dcdc_status: 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 Victron Tcp. Nothing to install.
victron_dcdc_status 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 victron_dcdc_status 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 victron_dcdc_status. 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.
victron_dcdc_status is provided by the Victron Tcp MCP server (lubosstrejcek/victron-tcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
