Convert natural language to OSLC query. Example: 'show overdue work orders in Bedford with priority 1'.
AI agents call nl_to_oslc_query to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool translates user input into query syntax but does not execute modifications, deletions, or external operations. It retrieves or filters existing data only. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible. Severity is low because query-only tools have minimal blast radius even if an AI agent misuses them—worst case is retrieving unintended data that should be access-controlled separately.
From the tool's definition Tool converts natural language to OSLC query—a data retrieval operation. Description examples ('show overdue work orders') indicate querying/fetching without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Convert natural language to OSLC query. Example: 'show overdue work orders in Bedford with priority 1'. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximo Enterprise MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maximo Enterprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nl_to_oslc_query: 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 Maximo Enterprise MCP. Nothing to install.
nl_to_oslc_query 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 nl_to_oslc_query 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 nl_to_oslc_query. 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.
nl_to_oslc_query is provided by the Maximo Enterprise MCP server (maximo-enterprise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
