list_content_files

Content files — the Story space. Everything the workspace has written or uploaded as narrative material, with type, owner, and linkage. This is the CONTENT store, not the account wiki: use search_knowledge for wiki pages about an account, and this for the assets themselves.

WHAT IT DOES

What list_content_files does on Adrata

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

RISK

Why list_content_files is rated Low

Even though list_content_files 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_content_files safely

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

list_content_files Allowed

list_content_files is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adrata, apply this rule, and every list_content_files call is checked against it from then on.
