AI agents call get_sca_checks 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 queries and retrieves security compliance check results from a Wazuh agent without any side effects. It follows the pattern of other data retrieval tools on this server (get_agent, get_agent_stats, get_alert) and has no capability to modify system state, execute code, delete data, or perform financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' prefix and description states 'Get individual check results' - purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. SCA (Security Configuration Assessment) checks are read-only security scan results.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get individual check results for a specific SCA policy on a Wazuh agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wazuh MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wazuh MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sca_checks: 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_sca_checks 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_sca_checks 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_sca_checks. 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_sca_checks 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.
