Get SSH config for the range. Args: user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: SSH config content
AI agents call get_range_sshconfig 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 SSH configuration information, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because SSH configs contain sensitive connection details (hostnames, ports, authentication methods, key paths) that could facilitate unauthorized access if exposed to an AI agent without proper access controls.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_range_sshconfig' and description 'Get SSH config for the range' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns SSH configuration data without modifying or executing against systems.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_range_sshconfig 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_range_sshconfig:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_range_sshconfig": {}
}
}get_range_sshconfig is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get SSH config for the range. Args: user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: SSH config content. 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_range_sshconfig: 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_range_sshconfig 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_range_sshconfig 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_range_sshconfig. 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_range_sshconfig 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.
