Control measurement statistics. Turn statistics on/off, reset them, or read the statistical values (current, mean, min, max, std-dev, count) for a measurement.
AI agents call measure_statistics to retrieve information from Siglent Sds without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The primary function of this tool is to read statistical measurement data from the oscilloscope. However, it also has write-like capabilities ('Turn statistics on/off, reset them'), which modifies device state.
From the tool's definition 'read the statistical values (current, mean, min, max, std-dev, count) for a measurement'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Control measurement statistics. Turn statistics on/off, reset them, or read the statistical values (current, mean, min, max, std-dev, count) for a measurement. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Siglent Sds MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Siglent Sds MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for measure_statistics: 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 Siglent Sds. Nothing to install.
measure_statistics 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 measure_statistics 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 measure_statistics. 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.
measure_statistics is provided by the Siglent Sds MCP server (magnusjohansson/siglent-sds-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
