Run 'show' commands on an AOS-S switch (all must start with 'show ', async polls ~60s).
AI agents call aos_s_show to retrieve information from API-Central without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool exclusively runs 'show' commands, which are read-only diagnostic/monitoring commands on network switches. No data is modified or deleted. Medium severity because it exposes potentially sensitive network topology, configuration, and state information from infrastructure devices, and misuse could reveal security-relevant details.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Run 'show' commands on an AOS-S switch (all must start with 'show ', async polls ~60s). It is categorised as a Read tool in the API-Central MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the API-Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aos_s_show: 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 API-Central. Nothing to install.
aos_s_show 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 aos_s_show 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 aos_s_show. 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.
aos_s_show is provided by the API-Central MCP server (secure-ssid/centralmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
