WHAT IT DOES

What list_clients does on Businys

AI agents call list_clients to retrieve information from Businys 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_clients is rated Low

This tool queries and returns a list of existing client records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. It is a straightforward read operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse, as accessing a client list does not enable financial transactions, data destruction, or code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_clients' and description 'List all clients' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_clients safely

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

list_clients Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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

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