discover_devices
AI agents call discover_devices to retrieve information from AC Infinity MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Device discovery typically involves reading/querying the network or service for available devices without modifying state. The name implies a read/enumerate operation. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description, but discovery operations are conventionally read-only. Low severity as misuse would at most expose a list of connected devices.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'discover_devices' suggests scanning/listing available devices; description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
discover_devices. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AC Infinity MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AC Infinity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discover_devices: 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 AC Infinity MCP. Nothing to install.
discover_devices 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 discover_devices 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 discover_devices. 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.
discover_devices is provided by the AC Infinity MCP server (ober37/ac-infinity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
