Why list_knowledge is rated Low
This tool retrieves and enumerates knowledge assets without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a discovery mechanism to inspect available knowledge, analogous to a filesystem listing command. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could learn what knowledge exists in the company, but cannot alter or act upon it with this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all knowledge files and folders' and 'Returns file names, slugs, sizes, and folder structure'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_knowledge safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freedom Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_knowledge, this is the rule to start with:
list_knowledge 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 Freedom Mcp, apply this rule, and every list_knowledge call is checked against it from then on.
