What list_api_keys does on Agentpay
AI agents call list_api_keys to retrieve information from Agentpay without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_api_keys is rated Low
Although this tool operates in a financial context (AgentPay), it performs a retrieval operation that returns metadata about API keys without modifying or creating anything. The read category applies because it queries existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] all active personal API keys for the current user' and shows 'prefix, name, and creation date (not the full key)'. This is a read/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_api_keys safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Agentpay, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_api_keys, this is the rule to start with:
list_api_keys 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 Agentpay, apply this rule, and every list_api_keys call is checked against it from then on.
