What list_contracts does on Businys
AI agents call list_contracts 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.
Why list_contracts is rated Low
This tool retrieves and filters existing contract records for the authenticated user. It has no side effects, does not modify, delete, or execute operations. The ability to filter by archived status is a read-time parameter, not a write operation. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low severity because misuse would expose existing data but not cause irreversible harm or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_contracts' and description states 'List all contracts' — a retrieval operation with no modification capability. Query params filter by archived status but do not alter data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_contracts 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_contracts, this is the rule to start with:
list_contracts 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 Businys, apply this rule, and every list_contracts call is checked against it from then on.
