What stash-list does on Search
AI agents call stash-list to retrieve information from Search without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why stash-list is rated Low
The tool queries existing stash data and returns structured information without side effects. This is a straightforward read operation similar to 'git stash list', which retrieves and displays information about stashed changes without altering any repository state.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves stash entries with metadata (index, message, date, branch, file changes). No modification, deletion, or execution—purely a listing/query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs stash-list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Search, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For stash-list, this is the rule to start with:
stash-list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Search, apply this rule, and every stash-list call is checked against it from then on.
