Discovers ONTAP REST API endpoints available on an ONTAP expert mode pool.
AI agents call ontap_discover to retrieve information from Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs discovery/enumeration of available API endpoints, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It retrieves metadata about what endpoints exist rather than creating, modifying, or deleting anything.

Discovers ONTAP REST API endpoints available on an ONTAP expert mode pool. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ontap_discover: 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 Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ontap_discover 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 ontap_discover 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 ontap_discover. 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.
ontap_discover is provided by the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server MCP server (netapp/gcnv-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
