This tool retrieves or queries information about an inventory source without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation that returns existing data, fitting the 'Read' category with low severity as misuse would only expose configuration details rather than cause operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_inventory_source' and description 'Get details of a specific inventory source' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_inventory_source gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AAP Enterprise MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_inventory_source:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_inventory_source": {}
  }
}

get_inventory_source is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register AAP Enterprise MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
