What list_owner_directory_items does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents call list_owner_directory_items to retrieve information from Mapi Agent Memory without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_owner_directory_items is rated Low
The 'list_' prefix strongly indicates data retrieval without modification. Given the context of an auditable memory system for AI agents, this tool likely enumerates owner-scoped items from a directory structure. Without a description to confirm side effects or data mutation, the function name alone warrants a Read classification with medium-high confidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_owner_directory_items' indicates a listing/querying operation that retrieves directory contents. The description is empty, which limits certainty, but the naming pattern is consistent with Read operations (list, get, fetch).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_owner_directory_items safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mapi Agent Memory, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_owner_directory_items, this is the rule to start with:
list_owner_directory_items is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mapi Agent Memory, apply this rule, and every list_owner_directory_items call is checked against it from then on.
