Why list_engines needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates publicly available engines, consistent with Read category operations (list, get, fetch). No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed—it simply returns information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent listing engines cannot cause harm beyond accessing already-public information. The low severity reflects this benign read-only nature.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_engines' and description 'List flagship public engines exposed by The Quiet Protocol' indicate a query/listing operation with no mutation or side effects.

How to control list_engines

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

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

list_engines 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 Quiet Protocol Growth Offense — 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.
