What label-list does on Make

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

Why label-list needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about repository labels without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'label-list' and description 'Lists repository labels' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns structured data (name, description, color, default status) without modification.

How to control label-list

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "label-list": {}
  }
}

label-list 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 Make — 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.

What MCP server provides label-list? +
