What list_allocations does on Doit
AI agents call list_allocations to retrieve information from Doit 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | — | Partial name filter (case-insensitive). Returns only allocations on the returned page whose name contains this string. |
pageToken | string | — | Token for pagination, from a previous response; returns the next page of results. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_allocations is rated Low
Even though list_allocations 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_allocations safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Doit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_allocations, this is the rule to start with:
list_allocations 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 Doit, apply this rule, and every list_allocations call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_allocations
Use this when the user wants to see their cost allocation rules or configurations. Returns a list of allocations. Returns pages of 40; pass the returned pageToken for another page (null means no next page). The case-insensitive partial name filter applies only to that returned page. Do NOT use this for cost queries (use run_query) or labels (use list_labels). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Doit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_allocations accepts 2 parameters: name, pageToken. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Doit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_allocations: 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 Doit. Nothing to install.
list_allocations 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_allocations 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_allocations. 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_allocations is provided by the Doit MCP server (@doitintl/doit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
