Get LLDP neighbor information for an AP.
AI agents call get_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors to retrieve information from HPE Aruba Networking Central 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 network topology and neighbor information from an access point without modifying state, executing code, or affecting network operations. It is a simple read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent — worst case being information disclosure of network topology details already accessible to an authenticated user.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get_' prefix and description states 'Get LLDP neighbor information' — both indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) neighbor queries are read-only network discovery operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get LLDP neighbor information for an AP. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors: 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors 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_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors 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_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors. 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_topology_ap_lldp_neighbors is provided by the HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP Server MCP server (the-otner/aruba-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
