get_network_l1_stats
AI agents call get_network_l1_stats to retrieve information from OCP Performance Analyzer MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves Layer 1 network statistics from an OpenShift/Kubernetes cluster monitoring platform. Network statistics collection is a non-destructive read operation. The empty description slightly lowers confidence, but the naming convention and server context strongly suggest it is a monitoring/metrics retrieval function. No side effects, modifications, or external operations are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_network_l1_stats' follows the 'get_' prefix pattern consistent with other Read operations on this server (get_api_server_stats, get_egressip_status, get_etcd_cluster_status, get_etcd_general_info).

get_network_l1_stats 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_network_l1_stats 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.
