List all submitted jobs.
AI agents call list_jobs to retrieve information from ESMfold 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 information about previously submitted jobs without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be information disclosure about job metadata, which is already accessible to users who submitted the jobs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_jobs' and description 'List all submitted jobs' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all submitted jobs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ESMfold MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ESMfold MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_jobs: 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 ESMfold MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_jobs 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_jobs 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_jobs. 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_jobs is provided by the ESMfold MCP Server MCP server (macromnex/esmfold_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
