What scan_migration does on Sanka MCP Server
AI agents call scan_migration to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why scan_migration is rated Low
Even though scan_migration only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs scan_migration safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For scan_migration, this is the rule to start with:
scan_migration is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sanka MCP Server, apply this rule, and every scan_migration call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about scan_migration
Queue standalone inventory inspection for the explicitly reviewed object scope. Read inspect_migration first, then poll inspection or get_migration_report with stage=inventory. Queued is not completed. Scanning may consume quota. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sanka MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sanka MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scan_migration: 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 Sanka MCP Server. Nothing to install.
scan_migration 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 scan_migration 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 scan_migration. 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.
scan_migration is provided by the Sanka MCP Server MCP server (sankahq/sanka-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
