Get SentinelX internal state (/state).
AI agents call sentinel_state to retrieve information from SentinelX Core MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves internal state information without modifying data. However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because internal state of a security monitoring system (SentinelX) could contain sensitive operational details, authentication tokens, configuration secrets, or security posture information that could be exploited if disclosed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sentinel_state' and description 'Get SentinelX internal state (/state)' indicate a retrieval operation with the verb 'Get', which is a read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get SentinelX internal state (/state). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SentinelX Core MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SentinelX Core MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sentinel_state: 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 SentinelX Core MCP. Nothing to install.
sentinel_state 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 sentinel_state 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 sentinel_state. 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.
sentinel_state is provided by the SentinelX Core MCP server (pensados/sentinelx-core-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
