list_monitored_endpoints

List all registered API endpoints being monitored.

Part of the Api Diff Monitor server.

list_monitored_endpoints is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call list_monitored_endpoints to retrieve information from Api Diff Monitor without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_monitored_endpoints only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so list_monitored_endpoints only ever does what you allow.

What does the list_monitored_endpoints tool do? +

List all registered API endpoints being monitored.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Api Diff Monitor MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_monitored_endpoints? +

Register the Api Diff Monitor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_monitored_endpoints: 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 Api Diff Monitor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_monitored_endpoints? +

list_monitored_endpoints is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_monitored_endpoints? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_monitored_endpoints 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.

How do I block list_monitored_endpoints completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_monitored_endpoints. 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.

What MCP server provides list_monitored_endpoints? +

list_monitored_endpoints is provided by the Api Diff Monitor MCP server (https://api.lazy-mac.com/api-diff-monitor/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Api Diff Monitor tool call.
