WHAT IT DOES

What get_network_interfaces does on Mcp Windows

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

RISK

Why get_network_interfaces is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about network interfaces on the system. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, execute commands, or affect financial systems. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn about network configuration but cannot directly harm systems or data through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate data retrieval: 'Get detailed network interface information' retrieves existing network interface data without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_network_interfaces safely

get_network_interfaces Allowed

get_network_interfaces is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
