List all available specification files in the project documentation folder. Returns file names and paths.
AI agents call list_specs to retrieve information from Weather Forecast MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates file metadata from a documentation folder. It performs a read-only query operation with no ability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius is minimal—an agent could learn about available specs but cannot alter them or trigger external operations. Low severity is appropriate for simple directory/file enumeration.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_specs' and description states 'List all available specification files in the project documentation folder. Returns file names and paths.' The action is purely retrieval of metadata with no modification, creation, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all available specification files in the project documentation folder. Returns file names and paths. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Weather Forecast MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Weather Forecast MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_specs: 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 Weather Forecast MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_specs 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_specs 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_specs. 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_specs is provided by the Weather Forecast MCP Server MCP server (lebedaliv2601/mcpsystem). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
