List_User

What List_User does on Files Com

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

Why List_User is rated Low

This tool retrieves user information from the Files.com environment. The verb 'List' is a classic read operation (analogous to 'get' or 'fetch') that queries data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. The sibling tools include destructive actions (Delete_Bundle) and write operations (Create_User, Create_Folder), but this tool is explicitly a listing operation, making it a Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'List_User' and description 'List Users' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. Listing is a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without modification, deletion, or execution.

The rule that runs List_User safely

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

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