Why list_server_groups needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about server groups without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read/list operation that retrieves data from the server. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing configuration information.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_server_groups' and description states 'List all server groups available on the virtual server' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control list_server_groups

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

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

list_server_groups 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 TeamSpeak MCP — 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.
