WHAT IT DOES

What workspace_list does on UnClick

AI agents call workspace_list to retrieve information from UnClick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`workspace_id`	string	Yes	The workspace id to inspect.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why workspace_list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation: it lists files and metadata (byte sizes, retention horizon) from a workspace. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive or financial implications. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could at most discover what files are in a workspace, which is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'workspace_list' and description 'List the files currently staged in a workspace' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays information about files without modifying or deleting them.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs workspace_list safely

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

workspace_list Allowed

workspace_list 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": {
    "workspace_list": {}
  }
}

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

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