AI agents call get_power_profile 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 tool queries system power profile information from power-profiles-daemon, retrieving the active profile and listing available profiles. This is a pure read operation with no side effects—it does not change system state, execute commands, or trigger external operations. It falls squarely into the Read category for data retrieval with no risk of unintended consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_power_profile' and description 'Active power profile + available ones' indicate retrieval of current system state without modification. No mutating action is performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Active power profile + available ones (power-profiles-daemon). 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_power_profile: 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_power_profile 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_power_profile 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_power_profile. 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_power_profile 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.
get_power_profile is one line of Sysprobe's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
