What publish_list does on Yaver
AI agents call publish_list to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why publish_list is rated Low
The tool only lists/retrieves past publish run records initiated by the agent. It does not trigger, create, modify, or delete anything. Pure read operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'List recent publish runs' — retrieves historical run data with no side effects
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs publish_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For publish_list, this is the rule to start with:
publish_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 Yaver, apply this rule, and every publish_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about publish_list
List recent publish runs started by this agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for publish_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Yaver. Nothing to install.
publish_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the publish_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for publish_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
publish_list is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
