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 Pointsyeah without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration metadata about an SSH connection without side effects. It queries and returns existing connection details for diagnostic purposes. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. While the returned information could theoretically be sensitive, the tool itself is purely informational/read-only, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ssh_connection_info' and description 'Get information about the configured SSH connection' with use cases limited to 'Verify SSH connection configuration', 'Debug connection issues', and 'Confirm which server is being targeted'.

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 Pointsyeah MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pointsyeah 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 Pointsyeah. 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 Pointsyeah MCP server (slack-workspace-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
