Why list_network_adapters needs a policy

Network adapter enumeration is a passive system query that retrieves configuration data without side effects. While it provides system reconnaissance information, it does not execute commands, modify data, delete resources, or commit financial actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_network_adapters' indicates retrieval of network interface information with no modification capability. Description is empty, but the verb 'list' and noun 'network_adapters' strongly suggest a read-only query operation.

How to control list_network_adapters

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Allcanuse, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_network_adapters:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_network_adapters": {}
  }
}

list_network_adapters is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Allcanuse — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
