WHAT IT DOES

What list_code_files does on FeatureBoard

AI agents call list_code_files to retrieve information from FeatureBoard 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_code_files is rated Low

This tool performs a directory listing operation, which is a read-only query with no side effects. It retrieves information about the project's file structure but does not execute code, modify files, delete content, or trigger external operations. The minimal blast radius (directory enumeration) and non-destructive nature classify it as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_code_files' and description states it 'List files and folders under the project' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_code_files safely

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

list_code_files Allowed

list_code_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_code_files": {}
  }
}

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

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