# list_connection_profiles

Lists connection profiles in a given project and location. For example: { parent: "projects/my-project/locations/us-central1" create_time_after: 2025-10-02T10:15:33Z create_time_before: 2025-10-03T00:00:00Z display_name: bookstore page_size: 100 } will return up to 100 connection profiles in projects/my-project/locations/us-central1 that were created on or after 2025-10-02T10:15:33 UTC and before 2025-10-03T00:00:00 UTC, and have "bookstore" in their display name.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

## Why list_connection_profiles is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing connection profile metadata without side effects. It returns filtered results but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is a straightforward Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—worst case being disclosure of connection profile metadata within the caller's Google Cloud project.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_connection_profiles' and description states it 'Lists connection profiles in a given project and location.' The example shows filtering and pagination parameters (parent, create_time_after, create_time_before, display_name, page_size) with…"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_connection_profiles": {}
  }
}
```
