AI agents call get_cpu_info to retrieve information from Sysprobe without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only diagnostic function that queries and returns CPU hardware information without making any changes to system state or executing arbitrary operations.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves system information (CPU model, core counts, frequency, governor) with no mutation or side effects. Description contains no action verbs indicating modification, execution, or destruction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
CPU model, core counts, per-core frequency and current governor. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sysprobe MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sysprobe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cpu_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 Sysprobe. Nothing to install.
get_cpu_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 get_cpu_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 get_cpu_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.
get_cpu_info is provided by the Sysprobe MCP server (raindancer118/sysprobe-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
