RISK

Why servers_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries server information without side effects. The use of 'Read' and 'list' indicates a data retrieval operation only. The low severity reflects that listing servers has minimal blast radius—it exposes metadata but does not enable modification, deletion, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read servers.list' and the name 'servers_list' indicates a listing operation. No modification, deletion, or execution keywords present.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs servers_list 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 servers_list, this is the rule to start with:

servers_list Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "servers_list": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Appaloft, apply this rule, and every servers_list call is checked against it from then on.
