WHAT IT DOES

What list_recipe_steps does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents call list_recipe_steps 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_recipe_steps is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing recipe configuration data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access recipe metadata it may not have permission to view, not execute arbitrary code or modify system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_recipe_steps' and description 'List all steps in a recipe' indicate a retrieval/query operation. The verb 'list' and the passive retrieval nature (no creation, modification, deletion, or execution) clearly position this as a read-only action.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_recipe_steps 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_recipe_steps, this is the rule to start with:

list_recipe_steps Allowed

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

}

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_recipe_steps call is checked against it from then on.
