list_work_products

List ISO 21434 work products (deliverables) required for cybersecurity engineering. Shows which artifacts to produce for each clause, whether CAL-dependent, and which R155 requirements they help satisfy. Filter by specific clause or lifecycle phase.

Part of the Automotive Cybersecurity MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call list_work_products to retrieve information from Automotive Cybersecurity without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_work_products only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the list_work_products tool do? +

List ISO 21434 work products (deliverables) required for cybersecurity engineering. Shows which artifacts to produce for each clause, whether CAL-dependent, and which R155 requirements they help satisfy. Filter by specific clause or lifecycle phase.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Automotive Cybersecurity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_work_products? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for list_work_products. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Automotive Cybersecurity MCP server.

What risk level is list_work_products? +

list_work_products is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_work_products? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_work_products rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block list_work_products completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for list_work_products. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides list_work_products? +

list_work_products is provided by the Automotive Cybersecurity MCP server (@ansvar/automotive-cybersecurity-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
