RISK

Why sandbox_ports_list is rated Low

The tool retrieves a list of sandbox ports from the Appaloft application catalog. It performs a read-only query operation ('list') with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only discover open sandbox ports, not interact with them or alter system state.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read sandbox-ports.list' and characterizes the action as reading/querying data with no destructive or side-effect operations mentioned.

sandbox_ports_list Allowed

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