List all documents available in the GitHub documentation repo.
AI agents call list_docs to retrieve information from MCP Generix without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about available documents but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk. Confidence is high because the description is explicit and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List[s] all documents available' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. This is a query/list operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all documents available in the GitHub documentation repo. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Generix MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Generix MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_docs: 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 MCP Generix. Nothing to install.
list_docs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_docs 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_docs. 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.
list_docs is provided by the MCP Generix MCP server (itsphily/mcp_generix). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
