Get all app store versions for a specific app
AI agents call list_app_store_versions to retrieve information from App Store Connect without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns existing app store version information. The verb 'list' and 'Get' clearly denote a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access app metadata already in the App Store Connect system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_app_store_versions' and description 'Get all app store versions for a specific app' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and App Store Connect, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_app_store_versions:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_app_store_versions": {}
}
} list_app_store_versions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
