AI agents call get_sca_policies 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 and lists existing SCA policies from a Wazuh agent. It performs a query operation that returns information about security configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only expose information already stored in the system, not cause operational changes or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sca_policies' and description 'List Security Configuration Assessment (SCA) policies evaluated on a Wazuh agent' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Security Configuration Assessment (SCA) policies evaluated 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_policies: 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_policies 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_policies 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_policies. 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_policies 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.
