WHAT IT DOES

What list_goals does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents call list_goals to retrieve information from FlowDot MCP Server 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_goals is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries goal data belonging to the authenticated user with no side effects. It falls squarely into the Read category. The severity is low because unauthorized access to a user's goal list, while a privacy concern, does not expose destructive or financial capabilities and is scoped to the authenticated user.

From the tool's definition 'List all goals for the authenticated user' — a retrieval operation with optional filtering by status parameter. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_goals safely

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

list_goals Allowed

list_goals 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_goals": {}
  }
}

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

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