Get topology device information.
AI agents call get_topology_devices 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 device information from the HPE Aruba Networking Central API. It performs a read-only query with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an unauthorized agent could only gain visibility into network topology information, not alter infrastructure or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_topology_devices' and description 'Get topology device information' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands. The verb 'get' is a standard read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get topology device information. 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_devices: 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_devices 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_devices 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_devices. 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_devices 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.
