Get information about the configured SSH connection. Returns: JSON object with host, port, username, and authentication method details Use cases: - Verify SSH connection configuration - Debug connection issues - Confirm which server is being targeted
AI agents call ssh_connection_info to retrieve information from Playwright Stealth without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic/configuration inspection tool that queries existing connection metadata without side effects. It enables verification and debugging but does not execute commands, modify settings, or access data beyond the connection parameters themselves.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves SSH connection configuration details: 'Get information about the configured SSH connection' returning 'JSON object with host, port, username, and authentication method details'. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands occurs.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ssh_connection_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Playwright Stealth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ssh_connection_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ssh_connection_info": {}
}
}ssh_connection_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get information about the configured SSH connection. Returns: JSON object with host, port, username, and authentication method details Use cases: - Verify SSH connection configuration - Debug connection issues - Confirm which server is being targeted. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Playwright Stealth MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Playwright Stealth MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ssh_connection_info: 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 Playwright Stealth. Nothing to install.
ssh_connection_info 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 ssh_connection_info 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 ssh_connection_info. 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.
ssh_connection_info is provided by the Playwright Stealth MCP server (pulsemcp/mcp-servers). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Playwright Stealth, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
