Why deployments_show is rated Low
The tool retrieves deployment information without side effects. The 'show' operation pattern and explicit 'Read' classification in the description indicate this is a data retrieval operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. Severity is low as it only exposes informational data about existing deployments.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Read deployments.show" and explicitly categorizes the operation as a read operation. No mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs deployments_show 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 deployments_show, this is the rule to start with:
deployments_show 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 deployments_show call is checked against it from then on.
