WHAT IT DOES

What list_config_templates does on API-Central

AI agents call list_config_templates 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.

RISK

Why list_config_templates is rated Low

The name clearly indicates this tool lists (retrieves) configuration templates from the Aruba Central system. List operations are non-destructive queries that return existing data. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention is consistent with Read operations in this API (e.g., other tools on the server use action verbs like 'add', 'apply', 'execute' for Write/Execute operations).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_config_templates' uses the verb 'list', which is a Read operation that retrieves and enumerates data without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_config_templates 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 list_config_templates, this is the rule to start with:

list_config_templates Allowed

list_config_templates is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_config_templates": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect API-Central, apply this rule, and every list_config_templates call is checked against it from then on.
