WHAT IT DOES

What list_config_versions does on Portkey Admin

AI agents call list_config_versions to retrieve information from Portkey Admin 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_config_versions is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays configuration version history with metadata (version number, payload, creator, timestamp) without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is purely informational and has no side effects. While it provides audit information that could inform subsequent destructive or write operations, the tool itself only reads data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_config_versions' and description 'List every version of a config' indicates retrieval of historical data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_config_versions safely

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

list_config_versions Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

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