What list-processes does on Https://github Com/Streen9/react

AI agents call list-processes to retrieve information from Https://github Com/Streen9/react without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list-processes needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about running processes without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward information-gathering operation analogous to 'ps' or 'tasklist' commands. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could learn about system processes but cannot directly harm the system through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-processes' and description 'List all running processes' indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list-processes gives an agent:

How to control list-processes

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Https://github Com/Streen9/react, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list-processes:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-processes": {}
  }
}

list-processes 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 Https://github Com/Streen9/react — 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.
