Fetch an existing SSID config by name. Returns None if not found.
AI agents call get_ssid 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.
This tool retrieves SSID (wireless network) configuration by name and returns the result or None if not found. It performs a query operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a straightforward read operation typical of configuration management systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ssid' and description 'Fetch an existing SSID config by name' indicate retrieval of configuration data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch an existing SSID config by name. Returns None if not found. 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 get_ssid: 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.
get_ssid 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 get_ssid 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 get_ssid. 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.
get_ssid 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.
