List all types available in this sharkd session: tap identifiers,
AI agents call server_info to retrieve information from SharkMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs information retrieval about the sharkd session configuration and available analysis types. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'server_info' and description 'List all types available in this sharkd session' indicates a query operation that retrieves metadata about available tap identifiers without modifying any data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access server_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SharkMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for server_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"server_info": {}
}
}server_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all types available in this sharkd session: tap identifiers,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SharkMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Shark MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for server_info: 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 SharkMCP. Nothing to install.
server_info 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 server_info 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 server_info. 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.
server_info is provided by the Shark MCP server (weirdmachine64/sharkmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
