Why list_recordings needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing call recording metadata without modifying, executing, or destroying any data. The optional filters (CallSid, DateCreated range) are typical of read-only list operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this would only gain unauthorized access to metadata about call recordings, not cause irreversible damage or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_recordings' and description 'List call recordings on this account' clearly indicate data retrieval with optional filtering parameters. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external systems occurs.

How to control list_recordings

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_recordings:

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

list_recordings 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.
