Part of the Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity server.
Free to start. No card required.
AI agents call list_steering_lists to retrieve information from Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though list_steering_lists only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_steering_lists gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Use this to retrieve all network steering lists configured for this reseller. A steering list is a named configuration of excluded and priority mobile operators that controls which networks an eSIM prefers to roam onto — the primary mechanism for network quality optimisation and cost control. Call this before modify_subscriber_steering_list to obtain valid steering list IDs. Params: resellerId (integer, optional — omit to use the token owner's reseller). Returns: array of steering list records with steeringListId, name, and configured operators. Do NOT use this to assign a steering list to a subscriber — use modify_subscriber_steering_list. Do NOT use this to push a steering change to a device — use push_steering_to_subscriber after assignment.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_steering_lists: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity. Nothing to install.
list_steering_lists 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 list_steering_lists 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 list_steering_lists. 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.
list_steering_lists is provided by the Carrier MCP: Give Your AI Agent Global Connectivity MCP server (carrier/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
