AI agents call list_applications to retrieve information from Coolify without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a summary of applications without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk, as it only exposes existing application metadata. The low severity reflects that listing applications provides informational data useful for reconnaissance but does not enable direct harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_applications' and description 'List apps (summary)' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List apps (summary). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coolify MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coolify 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. 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 server (jurislm/coolify-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_applications is one line of Coolify's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
