What list_flows does on A2p2a
AI agents call list_flows to retrieve information from A2p2a without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_flows is rated Low
Tool retrieves workflow metadata without modification or execution capabilities.
From the tool's definition list available flow filenames
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_flows safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and A2p2a, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_flows, this is the rule to start with:
list_flows 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 A2p2a, apply this rule, and every list_flows call is checked against it from then on.

可用流程文件名。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the A2p2a MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the A2p2a MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_flows: 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 A2p2a. Nothing to install.
list_flows 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_flows 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_flows. 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_flows is provided by the A2p2a MCP server (tendQQ/a2p2a). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
