list_templates
AI agents call list_templates to retrieve information from Keshro MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'list_templates' follows standard Read operation conventions (list, get, fetch, search). Without a description, we rely on the naming pattern which clearly suggests enumeration/retrieval of templates. This has no destructive capability, does not execute code, and does not modify state. Confidence is slightly lowered due to missing description, but the semantic meaning of 'list' is unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'list_templates' with no description. The 'list' prefix strongly indicates a retrieval operation that queries and returns template data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_templates. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keshro MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keshro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_templates: 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 Keshro MCP. Nothing to install.
list_templates 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_templates 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_templates. 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_templates is provided by the Keshro MCP server (jlewitt1/keshro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
