# get_channel_utilization Get per-radio channel utilization and noise floor for an AP. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_channel_utilization`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/get-channel-utilization ## Facts - Tool: `get_channel_utilization` - Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_channel_utilization", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_channel_utilization is rated Low This tool retrieves network monitoring metrics (channel utilization and noise floor statistics) from an access point. It is a read-only query operation that gathers information for analysis without modifying any configuration or state. The verb 'Get' and the informational nature of the data (utilization percentages, noise levels) confirm this is a passive Read operation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_channel_utilization' and description 'Get per-radio channel utilization and noise floor for an AP' indicate retrieval of monitoring data with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_channel_utilization 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": { "get_channel_utilization": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on API-Central (589) - `aos8_execute_migration_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-execute-migration-rollback.md - `aos8_logout` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-logout.md - `apstra_delete_connectivity_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/apstra-delete-connectivity-template.md - `clear_alerts` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clear-alerts.md - `clearpass_delete_endpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-endpoint.md - `clearpass_delete_guest` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-guest.md - `delete_aaa_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-aaa-profile.md - `delete_auth_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-profile.md - `delete_auth_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-server.md - `delete_authz_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-authz-policy.md - `delete_config_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-config-assignment.md - `delete_device_groups` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-groups.md - `delete_device_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-notes.md - `delete_glp_role_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-role-assignment.md - `delete_glp_scope_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group.md - `delete_glp_scope_group_scopes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group-scopes.md - `delete_gw_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-gw-policy.md - `delete_mac_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mac-registration.md - `delete_mpsk_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mpsk-registration.md - `delete_network_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-network-profile.md - `delete_notification_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-notification-rule.md - `delete_overlay_ssid` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-overlay-ssid.md - `delete_report` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report.md - `delete_report_run` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report-run.md - `delete_role` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role.md - `delete_role_acl` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role-acl.md - `delete_server_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-server-group.md - `delete_site_collections_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-site-collections-bulk.md - `delete_sites_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-sites-bulk.md - `delete_static_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-static-tag.md - …and 559 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
