WHAT IT DOES

What list_chunks does on Mcpg

AI agents call list_chunks to retrieve information from Mcpg 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_chunks is rated Low

The verb 'list' indicates a retrieval operation. Without a description, inference is based on naming conventions and the server's domain (PostgreSQL/data management). Listing typically does not modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code. Confidence is 0.85 rather than higher due to the empty tool description, which prevents full certainty of its exact behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_chunks' follows standard naming conventions for list/query operations that retrieve data without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_chunks safely

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

list_chunks Allowed

list_chunks 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_chunks": {}
  }
}

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

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