What labels_list does on Vikunja
AI agents call labels_list to retrieve information from Vikunja without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why labels_list is rated Low
This tool queries and returns a list of existing labels. It performs no modifications, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate labels it already has access to, with no ability to alter state or perform harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'labels_list' and description states 'List all labels the user has access to' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs labels_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vikunja, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For labels_list, this is the rule to start with:
labels_list 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 Vikunja, apply this rule, and every labels_list call is checked against it from then on.
