Get all UniFi sites configured on the controller
AI agents call get_sites to retrieve information from UniFi MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool merely queries and returns existing site configuration data from the UniFi controller. It performs no state changes, does not execute commands, and does not delete or modify data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would only gain visibility into the network structure, which while sensitive, does not enable further actions without using other tools like block_client or restart_device.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sites' and description 'Get all UniFi sites configured on the controller' indicate a simple data retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all UniFi sites configured on the controller. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UniFi MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UniFi MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sites: 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 UniFi MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_sites 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_sites 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_sites. 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.
get_sites is provided by the UniFi MCP Server MCP server (nntkio/unifimcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
