List work orders (maintenance issues) for the account. Filter by status, priority, tenant, or unit. Supports search by title or code.
AI agents call list_work_orders to retrieve information from Lanten MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves work order data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It only filters and searches existing records. The sibling tools show destructive operations (delete_*) and write operations (create_*) as separate concerns, confirming this is purely a data retrieval function with low blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List work orders' with filtering and search capabilities. The verb 'list' and the absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language indicate a read-only retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List work orders (maintenance issues) for the account. Filter by status, priority, tenant, or unit. Supports search by title or code. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lanten MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Lanten MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_work_orders: 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 Lanten MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_work_orders 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_work_orders 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_work_orders. 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_work_orders is provided by the Lanten MCP Server MCP server (lanten-ai/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
