Build a documentation-backed upgrade planning pack for a UserGate product.
AI agents call prepare_upgrade_plan to retrieve information from UserGate MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to compile and present documentation-backed planning information for upgrades, consistent with retrieval/read operations seen in sibling tools (prepare_auth_debug_pack, prepare_backup_ha_pack, etc.). These 'prepare' tools on this server aggregate documentation rather than executing actual system changes. No evidence of writing, executing, or destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Build a documentation-backed upgrade planning pack for a UserGate product. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UserGate MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UserGate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for prepare_upgrade_plan: 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 UserGate MCP. Nothing to install.
prepare_upgrade_plan 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 prepare_upgrade_plan 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 prepare_upgrade_plan. 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.
prepare_upgrade_plan is provided by the UserGate MCP server (neonsummit/usergate-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
