What anim_list does on Breakpoint
AI agents call anim_list to retrieve information from Breakpoint without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why anim_list is rated Low
This tool only queries and lists animation data from an AnimationPlayer without any side effects. The explicit 'Read-only' designation confirms it performs no writes, deletions, or external operations. Misuse poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'anim_list' and description explicitly states 'List all animations' and 'Read-only.' It retrieves metadata (length, loop mode, track count) without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs anim_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Breakpoint, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For anim_list, this is the rule to start with:
anim_list 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 Breakpoint, apply this rule, and every anim_list call is checked against it from then on.

anim_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the anim_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for anim_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
anim_list is provided by the Breakpoint MCP server (breakpoint-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
