What app_list_documents does on Eda Agent
AI agents call app_list_documents to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why app_list_documents is rated Low
The tool appears to query and return a list of documents without modifying state, deleting data, executing code, or moving money. The naming pattern aligns with read operations (list, get, fetch). Confidence is slightly lowered due to empty description, but the 'list_' prefix is conventionally associated with read operations in most APIs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'app_list_documents' implies retrieval/enumeration of documents. No description provided, but the 'list' verb and context within a design automation server (alongside query/get operations) strongly suggests read-only data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs app_list_documents safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For app_list_documents, this is the rule to start with:
app_list_documents 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 Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every app_list_documents call is checked against it from then on.
