AI agents call get_agent_ports 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 tool retrieves information about open ports on an agent—a read operation with no side effects. It queries existing state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius is minimal; misuse would only expose network information already present on the agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_agent_ports' and description 'List open network ports on a Wazuh agent' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves existing network configuration data without modification.

Register the Wazuh MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_agent_ports: 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_ports 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_ports 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_ports. 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_ports 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.
