Get network interface information and statistics
AI agents call get_network_metrics to retrieve information from KYC 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 and queries network interface information and performance statistics without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational, analogous to reading system diagnostics. The server context confirms this is a diagnostics and monitoring system. No financial, destructive, write, or execute capabilities are present.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_network_metrics' and description states 'Get network interface information and statistics' — uses retrieval verb 'Get', performs no modifications, deletions, or side effects.

get_network_metrics 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_metrics 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_metrics. 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.
