Lists all secrets within a specific Keyshade project
AI agents call list_secrets to retrieve information from Keyshade without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a Read operation—it queries and retrieves secrets without modifying them. The severity is medium rather than low because secrets are sensitive data; exposure through misuse (e.g., an AI agent listing secrets it shouldn't access) could compromise authentication credentials or API keys, even though the tool itself performs no destructive or side-effect operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_secrets' and description 'Lists all secrets within a specific Keyshade project' indicate data retrieval with no modification. However, the returned data includes sensitive secrets from a secrets management platform.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_secrets gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Keyshade, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_secrets:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_secrets": {}
}
}list_secrets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Lists all secrets within a specific Keyshade project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keyshade MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keyshade MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_secrets: 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 Keyshade. Nothing to install.
list_secrets 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_secrets 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_secrets. 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_secrets is provided by the Keyshade MCP server (keyshade-xyz/keyshade-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Keyshade, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
