Get detailed information for a specific client by MAC address
AI agents call unifi_get_client_details to retrieve information from Multi-Tool MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about a network client using a MAC address identifier. It performs a read-only query against the UniFi network controller without side effects. While network reconnaissance data could theoretically be sensitive in adversarial contexts, the tool itself is a passive information retrieval operation with no capability to modify, execute, or delete resources.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of client details ('Get detailed information for a specific client by MAC address'). No modification, deletion, or execution occurs—only data querying.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information for a specific client by MAC address. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unifi_get_client_details: 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 Multi-Tool MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unifi_get_client_details 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 unifi_get_client_details 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 unifi_get_client_details. 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.
unifi_get_client_details is provided by the Multi-Tool MCP Server MCP server (shawn-falconbury/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
