List Central NAC identity stores (bounded by default).
AI agents call list_identity_stores 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 performs a read-only operation to retrieve and display network access control (NAC) identity store configurations. There is no data modification, execution of commands, deletion, or financial transaction involved. The bounded default constraint further limits scope and risk. Listing configuration data is a standard informational query appropriate for monitoring and troubleshooting.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_identity_stores' and description 'List Central NAC identity stores' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Central NAC identity stores (bounded by default). 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 list_identity_stores: 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.
list_identity_stores 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 list_identity_stores 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 list_identity_stores. 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.
list_identity_stores 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.
