WHAT IT DOES

What list_participants does on Iconnect

AI agents call list_participants to retrieve information from Iconnect 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_participants is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about chat participants without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk—exposure could allow unauthorized viewing of chat participant metadata, but the blast radius is limited to information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_participants' and description 'List all participants in a specific chat' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_participants safely

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

list_participants Allowed

list_participants is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_participants": {}
  }
}

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

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