What list_circuits does on 0gzk
AI agents call list_circuits to retrieve information from 0gzk without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
chain | string | — | Registry chain (source=registry) |
limit | integer | — | |
offset | integer | — | |
source | string | — | Defaults to catalog; falls back to registry when no catalog is available |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_circuits is rated Low
Even though list_circuits only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_circuits safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0gzk, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_circuits, this is the rule to start with:
list_circuits is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 0gzk, apply this rule, and every list_circuits call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_circuits
List known circuits. source=catalog lists the local repo catalog (name/version/description/tags/publications); source=registry pages through the live on-chain registry for a chain. It is categorised as a Read tool in the 0gzk MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_circuits accepts 4 parameters: chain, limit, offset, source. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the 0gzk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_circuits: 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 0gzk. Nothing to install.
list_circuits 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 list_circuits 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 list_circuits. 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.
list_circuits is provided by the 0gzk MCP server (@0gzk/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
