WHAT IT DOES

What app_list_documents does on Altium-MCP-Suite

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

RISK

Why app_list_documents is rated Low

The tool appears to query and return a list of documents without modifying state, deleting data, executing code, or moving money. The naming pattern aligns with read operations (list, get, fetch). Confidence is slightly lowered due to empty description, but the 'list_' prefix is conventionally associated with read operations in most APIs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'app_list_documents' implies retrieval/enumeration of documents. No description provided, but the 'list' verb and context within a design automation server (alongside query/get operations) strongly suggests read-only data retrieval.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs app_list_documents safely

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

app_list_documents Allowed

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

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

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Altium-MCP-Suite, apply this rule, and every app_list_documents call is checked against it from then on.
