Why list_lists needs a policy

This tool retrieves marketing campaign contact list metadata (UUIDs, names, contact counts) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a standard read operation with pagination support. While it may expose contact list information that could have privacy implications, the tool itself performs no destructive or risky actions.

From the tool's definition 'List all Marketing Campaigns contact lists via GET /marketing/lists. Returns list UUIDs, names, and contact_count.' The verb 'List' and HTTP method 'GET' indicate a read-only query operation with no data modification.

How to control list_lists

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_lists:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_lists": {}
  }
}

list_lists is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
