Why getv2lists needs a policy

This tool queries and returns a list of accessible lists without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a simple read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be information disclosure of list metadata the token already has access to.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getv2lists' and description 'List all lists that your access token has access to' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion of resources.

How to control getv2lists

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Attio, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getv2lists:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getv2lists": {}
  }
}

getv2lists is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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