What victron_genset_status does on Victron Tcp

AI agents call victron_genset_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.

Why victron_genset_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves real-time status and monitoring data from Victron Energy genset controllers. The verb 'Get' and the list of queryable parameters (measurements, temperatures, voltages, codes) indicate read-only access to system state. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get AC generator/genset controller data' with parameters like 'AC voltage/current/power/frequency, engine temperature/load/speed/RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, starter voltage, model name, and…

Questions about victron_genset_status

What does the victron_genset_status tool do? +

Get AC generator/genset controller data (Fischer Panda, ComAp, DSE, CRE, DEIF): 3-phase AC voltage/current/power/frequency, engine temperature/load/speed/RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, starter voltage, model name, and error codes. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on victron_genset_status? +

Register the Victron Tcp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for victron_genset_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.

What risk level is victron_genset_status? +

victron_genset_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit victron_genset_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the victron_genset_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.

How do I block victron_genset_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for victron_genset_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.

What MCP server provides victron_genset_status? +

victron_genset_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.
