Get marker value (frequency, magnitude, phase)
AI agents call vna_get_marker to retrieve information from Copper Mountain Vna without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves measurement data (marker readings) from a Vector Network Analyzer without modifying configuration, calibration, or stored data. It is a pure read operation with no side effects, minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, and poses no security risk beyond potential information disclosure of already-measured RF parameters.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vna_get_marker' and description 'Get marker value (frequency, magnitude, phase)' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of device state or data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get marker value (frequency, magnitude, phase). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Copper Mountain Vna MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Copper Mountain Vna MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vna_get_marker: 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 Copper Mountain Vna. Nothing to install.
vna_get_marker 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 vna_get_marker 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 vna_get_marker. 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.
vna_get_marker is provided by the Copper Mountain Vna MCP server (rfingadam/copper-mountain-vna-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
