List discoveries for a specific session with optional filtering
AI agents call list_discoveries to retrieve information from Mcp Network Analyzer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists discovered API patterns or network analysis results for a given session. The verb 'list' combined with 'filtering' (read-only parameter) confirms it performs data retrieval only. No side effects, modifications, deletions, or code execution are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_discoveries' and description 'List discoveries for a specific session with optional filtering' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List discoveries for a specific session with optional filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_discoveries: 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 Mcp Network Analyzer. Nothing to install.
list_discoveries 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_discoveries 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_discoveries. 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_discoveries is provided by the Mcp Network Analyzer MCP server (kylebrodeur/mcp-network-analyzer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
