Get AC-coupled PV inverter data (SolarEdge, Fronius, ABB, etc.): power per phase, voltage, current, energy totals, frequency, position, serial, and power limit. Use victron_discover to find the PV inverter unit ID.
AI agents call victron_pvinverter_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 only reads operational status and telemetry data from Victron Energy PV inverter systems. It has no capability to modify settings, execute commands, delete data, or trigger financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of solar generation metrics, which poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves real-time data from PV inverter systems including power, voltage, current, energy totals, frequency, position, serial, and power limit. Descriptor uses 'Get' indicating data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or command execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get AC-coupled PV inverter data (SolarEdge, Fronius, ABB, etc.): power per phase, voltage, current, energy totals, frequency, position, serial, and power limit. Use victron_discover to find the PV inverter 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_pvinverter_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_pvinverter_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_pvinverter_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_pvinverter_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_pvinverter_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.
