What list_connections does on Denkopsai
AI agents call list_connections to retrieve information from Denkopsai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_connections is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays information about connection credentials without altering, deleting, or executing any operations. While the credentials themselves are sensitive (they control access), listing them is a read-only query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List DenkOps connection tokens' - a retrieval operation that queries existing credentials and their metadata (label, agent type, scopes, status) with no modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_connections safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Denkopsai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_connections, this is the rule to start with:
list_connections 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 Denkopsai, apply this rule, and every list_connections call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_connections 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.
