What list_measurements does on Businys
AI agents call list_measurements 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_measurements is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays existing body measurement data with no side effects. It performs a query operation that returns information but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view measurement data that already exists.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_measurements' and description states 'List all body measurements, most recent first.' The verb 'list' and action 'retrieve/query' data without modification indicate a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_measurements 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_measurements, this is the rule to start with:
list_measurements 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_measurements call is checked against it from then on.
