List all applications
AI agents call list_applications to retrieve information from Coolify MCP Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing applications without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an AI agent misuses it, as it only exposes application metadata without enabling destructive or financial actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_applications' and description 'List all applications' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all applications. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coolify MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_applications: 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 Coolify MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
list_applications 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_applications 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_applications. 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_applications is provided by the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server (jplansink/coolify-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
