Get list of all source files for a QuickApp. Returns file names, types, and metadata without file content.
AI agents call list_quickapp_files to retrieve information from HC3 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and retrieves metadata about QuickApp source files without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing files. The restriction to metadata-only (no content) further limits any potential misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get list of all source files for a QuickApp' and 'Returns file names, types, and metadata without file content.' The action is purely retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get list of all source files for a QuickApp. Returns file names, types, and metadata without file content. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HC3 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HC3 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_quickapp_files: 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 HC3 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_quickapp_files 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_quickapp_files 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_quickapp_files. 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_quickapp_files is provided by the HC3 MCP Server MCP server (jangabrielsson/hc3_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
