What system_info does on Nasbridge
AI agents call system_info to retrieve information from Nasbridge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why system_info is rated Low
This tool only retrieves and queries system metadata about a TrueNAS instance. It has no side effects, creates no changes, executes no code, and poses minimal security risk. It is a typical Read operation used for monitoring and understanding system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'system_info' and description explicitly states it 'Get[s] TrueNAS system information including hostname, version, uptime, CPU, memory, and hardware details.' This is purely informational retrieval with no modification, deletion, execution, or…

The rule that runs system_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nasbridge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For system_info, this is the rule to start with:
system_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nasbridge, apply this rule, and every system_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about system_info
Get TrueNAS system information including hostname, version, uptime, CPU, memory, and hardware details. Use this to understand the system you are managing. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nasbridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nasbridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for system_info: 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 Nasbridge. Nothing to install.
system_info 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 system_info 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 system_info. 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.
system_info is provided by the Nasbridge MCP server (maverick0628/nasbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
