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

|---|---|---|---|
app_id | string | Yes | Project ID (from list_projects) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_maps is rated Low
This tool queries and returns existing map configurations or references within a QuintaDB project. It performs data retrieval only, with no ability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn what maps exist in a project but cannot alter them or cause irreversible harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_maps' and description 'Список мап (Google Maps) в проєкті' [List of maps (Google Maps) in the project] indicate retrieval of map data without modification. No side effects are performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_maps safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and QuintaDB, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_maps, this is the rule to start with:
list_maps 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 QuintaDB, apply this rule, and every list_maps call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_maps rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_maps. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
