List all secret names in the Keyway vault for the current repository. Returns only the keys, not the values.
AI agents call keyway_list_secrets to retrieve information from Keyway MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves information (secret key names) without modifying state, executing code, deleting data, or moving money. The explicit restriction to 'keys, not values' further limits the sensitivity of information exposure. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List all secret names in the Keyway vault' and 'Returns only the keys, not the values.' This is a read-only operation that queries metadata without exposing sensitive data or enabling side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all secret names in the Keyway vault for the current repository. Returns only the keys, not the values. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keyway MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keyway MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for keyway_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 Keyway MCP Server. Nothing to install.
keyway_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 keyway_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 keyway_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.
keyway_list_secrets is provided by the Keyway MCP Server MCP server (keywaysh/keyway-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
