Get uplink topology information.
AI agents call get_topology_uplinks 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 read-only network topology information about uplinks. It has no side effects, does not modify configuration, execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into network topology, which is information disclosure but does not enable direct operational harm without additional tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_topology_uplinks' and description 'Get uplink topology information' indicate a query operation that retrieves network topology data without modifying or executing actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get uplink topology 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_uplinks: 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_uplinks 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_uplinks 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_uplinks. 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_uplinks 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.
