AI agents call get_agent_packages to retrieve information from Wazuh without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries and retrieves data from a Wazuh agent regarding installed software packages. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose package inventory information rather than causing operational damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_packages' and description 'List software packages installed on a Wazuh agent' indicate a query operation that retrieves information about installed packages without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the Wazuh MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_agent_packages: 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 Wazuh. Nothing to install.
get_agent_packages 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_agent_packages 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_agent_packages. 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_agent_packages is provided by the Wazuh MCP server (solomonneas/wazuh-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
