ip_addresses

What ip_addresses does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call ip_addresses to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why ip_addresses is rated Low

This tool queries network configuration data (IP addresses) from the control plane, returning read-only information with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker learns network topology but cannot directly compromise systems. Confidence is high given the explicit query-based description.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return /ip/address/print' — a query operation that retrieves network interface information without modification. The verb 'Return' and 'print' indicate data retrieval only.

The rule that runs ip_addresses safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ip_addresses, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ip_addresses": {}
  }
}
