What list_prompts does on Portkey Admin
AI agents call list_prompts 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.
Why list_prompts is rated Low
This tool retrieves and enumerates prompts with optional filtering. It has no side effects, creates no data modifications, and does not execute or delete anything. It is a straightforward query operation used to discover and display existing prompts. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused — an agent listing prompts cannot harm system integrity or data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List prompts' and 'Returns a paginated summary' — core read operations that query data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_prompts 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_prompts, this is the rule to start with:
list_prompts 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 Portkey Admin, apply this rule, and every list_prompts call is checked against it from then on.
