What list_companies does on FeatureBoard
AI agents call list_companies 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.
Why list_companies is rated Low
This tool queries and returns a list of companies without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal blast radius as it only exposes data visibility. The vague description ('List the project') is somewhat uninformative but the tool name clearly indicates a retrieval action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_companies' and description 'List the project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data. The verb 'list' is explicitly a Read operation per the taxonomy.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_companies 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_companies, this is the rule to start with:
list_companies 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 FeatureBoard, apply this rule, and every list_companies call is checked against it from then on.
