WHAT IT DOES

What list_apps does on Deloc

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

RISK

Why list_apps is rated Low

This tool simply lists published applications and their properties (URLs, status). It performs a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose information already available to deployed apps.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_apps' and description 'List published apps with their URLs and status' indicate a data retrieval operation that queries existing app metadata without modifying or executing anything.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_apps safely

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

list_apps Allowed

list_apps is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Deloc, apply this rule, and every list_apps call is checked against it from then on.
