THE RISK

Low Risk

Why list_site_document_libraries needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about document libraries in a SharePoint site without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and only returns data to the caller, making it a straightforward Read category with low severity. An AI agent misusing this would at worst enumerate organizational resources, which has limited blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List document libraries' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion. The verb 'list' is explicitly a read-only operation that queries and returns information about SharePoint site resources.

How to control list_site_document_libraries

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apple Shortcuts, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_site_document_libraries:

policy.json

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

list_site_document_libraries is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Apple Shortcuts — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
