AI agents call get_sysvol_state to retrieve information from LegacyMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about SYSVOL replication state across Domain Controllers. It performs no modifications, deletions, or executions—it only queries and returns existing data about the replication mechanism status.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sysvol_state' uses the 'get' verb and description states 'Return SYSVOL replication state per DC', indicating a read-only operation that queries and retrieves existing replication status data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return SYSVOL replication state per DC: replication mechanism. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LegacyMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Legacy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sysvol_state: 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 LegacyMCP. Nothing to install.
get_sysvol_state 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 get_sysvol_state 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 get_sysvol_state. 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.
get_sysvol_state is provided by the Legacy MCP server (marco-lelli/legacy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
