## Why aos8_list_bss is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays BSS (Basic Service Set) table information from AOS8 access points using a read-only show command. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and poses minimal risk even if called inappropriately by an AI agent. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure of network configuration details.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'aos8_list_bss' with verb 'list' and description 'List AOS8 BSS table entries from `show ap bss-table`' indicates a query/retrieval operation that displays network device data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call aos8_list_bss to retrieve information from API-Central without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches API-Central:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "aos8_list_bss": {}
  }
}
```
