List configured host and tool profiles used as weak signals for process classification.
AI agents call profile_list to retrieve information from Clean Process Ended without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool is a passive enumeration/inspection utility that returns existing profile metadata to aid in process classification. It performs no write, execution, deletion, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'profile_list' and description states 'List configured host and tool profiles' — a pure query operation that retrieves configuration data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List configured host and tool profiles used as weak signals for process classification. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Clean Process Ended MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Clean Process Ended MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for profile_list: 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 Clean Process Ended. Nothing to install.
profile_list 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 profile_list 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 profile_list. 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.
profile_list is provided by the Clean Process Ended MCP server (marcelocaporale/clean-process-ended). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
