AI agents call list_glossary to retrieve information from Querywise without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries glossary metadata without modifying or deleting data. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with the server's read-only design pattern. No execution, destructive actions, or financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_glossary' indicates retrieval of glossary entries. Server description emphasizes 'read-only by default' and mentions glossary as part of business semantic layer for querying.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_glossary. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Querywise MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Querywise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_glossary: 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 Querywise. Nothing to install.
list_glossary 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_glossary 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_glossary. 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_glossary is provided by the Querywise MCP server (kosminus/querywise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
