Why list_secrets needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries data (secret names/identifiers) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The tool explicitly guarantees it does not return secret values themselves, making it a safe information-retrieval operation. The low severity reflects that knowing secret names carries minimal risk compared to accessing secret values or performing destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'list_secrets'. Description: 'List secret names in the active project. Never returns values.' The explicit statement that it 'Never returns values' confirms this is a read-only operation that only enumerates metadata.

How to control list_secrets

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_secrets:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_secrets": {}
  }
}

list_secrets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
