WHAT IT DOES

What list-package does on Go

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

RISK

Why list-package is rated Low

This tool retrieves dependency/package information from a project's configuration. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify files, and does not delete anything. It is purely a query/listing operation against the local project metadata, making it a Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'dotnet list package' which queries and returns package listings without modifying any state. The description explicitly states it 'returns structured NuGet package listings' — a read-only informational operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list-package safely

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

list-package Allowed

list-package 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": {
    "list-package": {}
  }
}

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

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