Get connectivity templates in a blueprint
AI agents call get_ct to retrieve information from Apstra 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 connectivity templates from a blueprint in the Juniper Apstra datacenter network management system. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no resource deletion. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could gather information about network topology and configuration but cannot alter infrastructure or cause damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ct' and description 'Get connectivity templates in a blueprint' indicate retrieval of existing configuration data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get connectivity templates in a blueprint. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apstra MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Apstra MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ct: 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 Apstra MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_ct 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_ct 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_ct. 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_ct is provided by the Apstra MCP Server MCP server (vignitin/apstra-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
