Get network topology visualization data. Args: user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Network topology data
AI agents call get_network_topology to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns network topology information for visualization purposes only. It performs a read operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes to the system. The optional user_id parameter (admin-only) is used for access control, not to perform actions. No destructive, financial, or code execution capabilities are present.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_network_topology' and description 'Get network topology visualization data' with return value of 'Network topology data' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_network_topology gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_network_topology:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_network_topology": {}
}
}get_network_topology is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get network topology visualization data. Args: user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Network topology data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ludus FastMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_network_topology: 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 Ludus FastMCP. Nothing to install.
get_network_topology 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_network_topology 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_network_topology. 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_network_topology is provided by the Ludus Fast MCP server (tjnull/ludus-fastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
