Get system performance information and resource usage.
AI agents call get_system_performance_info to retrieve information from Inkscape without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves system performance data (CPU, memory, disk usage, etc.) with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. It is a read-only operation that gathers information about the host system's current state. While it could theoretically inform an agent about resource constraints, it poses minimal security risk as it only exposes monitoring data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_system_performance_info' and description 'Get system performance information and resource usage' indicate retrieval of system metrics without modification or execution of commands.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_system_performance_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Inkscape, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_system_performance_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_system_performance_info": {}
}
}get_system_performance_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get system performance information and resource usage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Inkscape MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Inkscape MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_system_performance_info: 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 Inkscape. Nothing to install.
get_system_performance_info 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_system_performance_info 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_system_performance_info. 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_system_performance_info is provided by the Inkscape MCP server (sandraschi/inkscape-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Inkscape, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
