WHAT IT DOES

What list_workspaces does on Plane

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

RISK

Why list_workspaces is rated Low

The tool is designed to retrieve a list of workspaces. Despite the empty description, the naming convention 'list_*' strongly indicates a non-destructive data retrieval operation. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operation is implied.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workspaces' follows the 'list_*' pattern, which the classification rules explicitly identify as a read operation that queries data without side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_workspaces safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_workspaces, this is the rule to start with:

list_workspaces Allowed

list_workspaces 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": {
    "list_workspaces": {}
  }
}

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

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