Why dependency_resources_count is rated Low
This tool retrieves a count of dependency resources, which is a read-only query operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The lowest severity applies since it only retrieves information.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read dependency-resources.count' and the name contains 'count' which is a query operation. No modification or destructive capability indicated.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dependency_resources_count safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Appaloft, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dependency_resources_count, this is the rule to start with:
dependency_resources_count 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 Appaloft, apply this rule, and every dependency_resources_count call is checked against it from then on.
