SSH read-only diagnostic: uptime, memory, disk, and top CPU processes
AI agents call server_resource_snapshot to retrieve information from ItchWHMMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves system diagnostic information in a read-only manner. It queries server state (uptime, memory usage, disk space, running processes) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. The explicit mention of 'read-only' confirms no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'SSH read-only diagnostic' with operations like 'uptime, memory, disk, and top CPU processes' — all information retrieval with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
SSH read-only diagnostic: uptime, memory, disk, and top CPU processes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ItchWHMMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ItchWHM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for server_resource_snapshot: 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 ItchWHMMCP. Nothing to install.
server_resource_snapshot 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 server_resource_snapshot 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 server_resource_snapshot. 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.
server_resource_snapshot is provided by the ItchWHM MCP server (manofsadness/itchwhmmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
