This tool retrieves and queries public administrative data about Italian provinces without any side effects. It performs a simple read operation on a catalog of government data with optional filtering. There is no capability to modify, delete, execute, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since the data is publicly available metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_provinces' and description states it 'List Italian provinces with their codes'. The args include only optional filtering parameters (keyword, lang) with no mutation, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_provinces gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Schema Gov It MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_provinces:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_provinces": {}
}
}list_provinces is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
