Return wlan-ssid objects from Aruba New Central (bounded by default).
AI agents call list_ssids 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 WLAN SSID configuration objects from Aruba Central without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward query operation with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category. Low severity because SSID information disclosure has limited blast radius and does not enable unauthorized changes or resource consumption.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_ssids' and description 'Return wlan-ssid objects' indicate data retrieval with no modification capability. The phrase 'bounded by default' suggests scope limitations typical of read-only queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return wlan-ssid objects from Aruba New Central (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_ssids: 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_ssids 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_ssids 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_ssids. 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_ssids 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.
