Get all endpoints
AI agents call get_endpoints to retrieve information from Kubernetes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves endpoint information from a Kubernetes cluster without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. It has no side effects and poses minimal security risk, typical of read-only operations. The severity is low because endpoint data itself is generally non-sensitive cluster metadata, though confidence is high due to clear read-only semantics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_endpoints' with description 'Get all endpoints' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification capability. The verb 'get' and lack of any mutating language confirm this is a query-only action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all endpoints. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_endpoints: 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 Kubernetes MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_endpoints 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_endpoints 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_endpoints. 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_endpoints is provided by the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP server (surukanti/k8s-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
