get_groups
AI agents call get_groups to retrieve information from Wazuh MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves group information from the Wazuh security platform. The naming convention and context among other 'get_*' tools on the same server strongly suggest a read-only query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_groups' and sibling context (get_agent_component_stats, get_agent_daemon_stats, get_agent_hardware, get_agent_netaddr) indicate data retrieval operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_groups. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wazuh MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wazuh MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_groups: 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 Wazuh MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_groups 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_groups 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_groups. 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_groups is provided by the Wazuh MCP Server MCP server (rayasatriatama/wazuh-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
