WHAT IT DOES

What configure_high_availability does on API-Central

AI agents use configure_high_availability to create or update resources in API-Central, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API-Central environment.

RISK

Why configure_high_availability is rated Medium

The tool name strongly suggests modifying high-availability configuration for network infrastructure (consistent with HPE Aruba Central's domain). Configuration changes are reversible writes. Severity is high because HA misconfigurations could cause network outages or failover issues affecting multiple systems, though not financial or destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'configure_high_availability' indicates modification of network infrastructure high-availability settings.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs configure_high_availability safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API-Central, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For configure_high_availability, this is the rule to start with:

configure_high_availability Rate-limited

configure_high_availability stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
