get_instance_containers
AI agents call get_instance_containers to retrieve information from Morpheus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix strongly suggests a read-only query operation that retrieves information about instance containers without modifying state. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and context within an infrastructure management platform indicate this fetches container data associated with instances.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_instance_containers' uses the 'get' verb, which typically indicates data retrieval. The tool is listed among administrative and management operations on an HPE Morpheus infrastructure management platform.

get_instance_containers 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 get_instance_containers 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 get_instance_containers. 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.
