list_search

What list_search does on Container-MCP

AI agents call list_search to retrieve information from Container-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_search is rated Low

The tool name implies searching through or retrieving data from a list structure. Without a description, confidence is moderate, but the naming pattern and presence of other Read-category tools (fs_list, kb_read) on the same server support classification as a retrieval operation with no side effects. No evidence of deletion, modification, or execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_search' suggests querying or retrieving list items; no description provided to confirm, but naming convention and sibling context (fs_list, kb_read as read operations) indicate search/query functionality without mutation.

The rule that runs list_search safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Container-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_search, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_search": {}
  }
}
