List all tags used across devices with counts.
AI agents call get_tags to retrieve information from Netmiko MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple enumeration of existing tags and their usage counts—a non-destructive information retrieval operation. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tags' and description 'List all tags used across devices with counts' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves metadata without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all tags used across devices with counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Netmiko MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Netmiko MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_tags: 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 Netmiko MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_tags 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_tags 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_tags. 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_tags is provided by the Netmiko MCP Server MCP server (ntunes/netmiko-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
