List network ACL rules
AI agents call list_network_acls to retrieve information from CloudStack MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a Read operation—it retrieves and displays existing network ACL rules without side effects. However, severity is elevated to medium rather than low because network ACL rules are security-critical infrastructure data whose exposure could inform attack planning or reconnaissance.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_network_acls' and description 'List network ACL rules' indicate a retrieval operation that queries network access control configuration without modifying or executing changes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List network ACL rules. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_network_acls: 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 CloudStack MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_network_acls 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 list_network_acls 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 list_network_acls. 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.
list_network_acls is provided by the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server (mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
