What list_watchlist_queries does on Meridian
AI agents call list_watchlist_queries to retrieve information from Meridian 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
project_id | string | — | |
source_type | string | — | Optional filter. |
project_name | string | — | Project name — an alternative to project_id; resolved to the id internally. project_id wins if both are given. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_watchlist_queries is rated Low
Even though list_watchlist_queries 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_watchlist_queries safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Meridian, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_watchlist_queries, this is the rule to start with:
list_watchlist_queries 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 Meridian, apply this rule, and every list_watchlist_queries call is checked against it from then on.
