WHAT IT DOES

What issue-list does on Docker

AI agents call issue-list to retrieve information from Docker without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why issue-list is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and returns issue data without any side effects. It's a read/query operation that lists existing issues with filtering capabilities. Severity is low since misuse can only result in information disclosure of issue metadata.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs issue-list safely

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

issue-list Allowed

issue-list 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": {
    "issue-list": {}
  }
}

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

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