RISK

Why list_staff is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about staff members without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a standard data retrieval function typical of CRM systems. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only view staff information, which is generally internal business data that does not result in irreversible changes or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_staff' and description 'List staff/team members in the business' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_staff safely

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

list_staff Allowed

list_staff 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_staff": {}
  }
}

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

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