Get a list of all courses the student is enrolled in.
AI agents call list_courses to retrieve information from Ekursy Mcp Py without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns course enrollment information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function with minimal security risk. Exposure of course enrollment lists poses low risk as this is typically non-sensitive student metadata that would be available within normal platform usage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_courses' and description 'Get a list of all courses the student is enrolled in' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Get a list of all courses the student is enrolled in. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ekursy Mcp Py MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ekursy Mcp Py MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_courses: 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 Ekursy Mcp Py. Nothing to install.
list_courses 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_courses 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_courses. 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.
