WHAT IT DOES

What drive_list_files does on Mcp

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

`drive`	string	Yes	Drive name or drv_… id
`prefix`	string	—	Path prefix filter

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why drive_list_files is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists file metadata from a drive storage system. It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations—only data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal (information disclosure limited to file names and structure visible within a drive the user already has access to).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'drive_list_files' and description 'List files in a drive' indicate retrieval of directory contents without modification. 'Optionally under a path prefix' confirms query-only semantics.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs drive_list_files safely

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

drive_list_files Allowed

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

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

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