What list_devices does on Zype Com
AI agents call list_devices to retrieve information from Zype Com without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
q | string | — | q |
id | string | — | id |
page | number | — | page |
title | string | — | title |
per_page | number | — | per_page |
created_at | string | — | created_at |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_devices is rated Low
Even though list_devices only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_devices safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Zype Com, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_devices, this is the rule to start with:
list_devices 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 Zype Com, apply this rule, and every list_devices call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_devices
list_devices is a read tool on the Zype Com MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zype Com MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_devices accepts 6 parameters: q, id, page, title, per_page, created_at. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Zype Com MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_devices: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Zype Com. Nothing to install.
list_devices is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_devices 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_devices. 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.
list_devices is provided by the Zype Com MCP server (zype/zype-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
