device_state
AI agents call device_state to retrieve information from Electra One without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name indicates state retrieval rather than modification or execution. Absence of verbs like 'set', 'execute', 'delete', or 'clear' suggests read-only functionality. Low confidence due to empty description, but context from sibling tools supports Read categorization. No destructive, financial, or execute-level operations implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'device_state' with empty description suggests querying device status/state information. Sibling tool 'device_status' confirms this server retrieves device state data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
device_state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Electra One MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Electra One MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for device_state: 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 Electra One. Nothing to install.
device_state 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 device_state 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 device_state. 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.
device_state is provided by the Electra One MCP server (roomi-fields/electra-one-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
device_state is one line of Electra One's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
