List all currently scheduled jobs.
AI agents call list_scheduled_jobs to retrieve information from Simple MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate scheduled jobs. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not destroy or create resources. The operation is informational only, making it a straightforward Read category risk with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List all currently scheduled jobs' — a query operation that retrieves information about scheduled tasks without modifying, executing, or deleting any data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all currently scheduled jobs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Simple MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Simple MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_scheduled_jobs: 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 Simple MCP. Nothing to install.
list_scheduled_jobs 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_scheduled_jobs 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_scheduled_jobs. 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_scheduled_jobs is provided by the Simple MCP server (karar-hayder/simple-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
