Return the list of available providers, local LLM servers, and routable models.
AI agents call gateway.discover to retrieve information from Adaptive LLM Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs discovery/enumeration of available resources. It retrieves information about providers and models without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The read-only nature and limited blast radius (only exposing metadata about available services) places it squarely in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return the list of available providers, local LLM servers, and routable models' — a pure query operation that retrieves and reports configuration metadata with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return the list of available providers, local LLM servers, and routable models. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adaptive LLM Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Adaptive LLM Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway.discover: 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 Adaptive LLM Gateway. Nothing to install.
gateway.discover 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 gateway.discover 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 gateway.discover. 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.
gateway.discover is provided by the Adaptive LLM Gateway MCP server (renefichtmueller/adaptive-llm-gateway). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
