Returns CPU usage and core count.
AI agents call get_cpu_info to retrieve information from Laptop Hardware 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 read-only hardware telemetry data (CPU usage percentage and core count). It performs no mutations, executions, deletions, or financial operations. The data returned is informational system statistics with no side effects. All sibling tools (get_battery_info, get_disk_info, get_memory_info, etc.) follow the same read-only pattern.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cpu_info' and description 'Returns CPU usage and core count' indicate a query operation that retrieves system telemetry without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns CPU usage and core count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Laptop Hardware MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Laptop Hardware MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cpu_info: 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 Laptop Hardware MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_cpu_info 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_cpu_info 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_cpu_info. 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_cpu_info is provided by the Laptop Hardware MCP Server MCP server (shreshtthh/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_cpu_info is one line of Laptop Hardware MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
