WHAT IT DOES

What list_resource_groups does on Mcpg

AI agents call list_resource_groups 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_resource_groups is rated Low

The tool name and pattern suggest it retrieves or enumerates resource group metadata from PostgreSQL. Despite the empty description reducing confidence slightly, listing operations are quintessentially Read category—they query data with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_resource_groups' indicates a listing operation, which retrieves and queries information about resource groups without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_resource_groups 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_resource_groups, this is the rule to start with:

list_resource_groups Allowed

list_resource_groups 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_resource_groups": {}
  }
}

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_resource_groups call is checked against it from then on.
