Get network information from the selected agent (ifconfig)
AI agents call ligolo_agent_info to retrieve information from Ligolo-ng MCP Server 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 network configuration information (equivalent to ifconfig) from a remote agent. It is a passive read operation with no side effects, no code execution on the local system, no data modification, and no destructive capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ligolo_agent_info' and description 'Get network information from the selected agent (ifconfig)' indicate a query operation that retrieves network interface data without modifying or executing actions.

Get network information from the selected agent (ifconfig). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ligolo-ng MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ligolo-ng MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ligolo_agent_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 Ligolo-ng MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ligolo_agent_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 ligolo_agent_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 ligolo_agent_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.
ligolo_agent_info is provided by the Ligolo-ng MCP Server MCP server (schwarztim/sec-ligolo-ng-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
