What list_llms_txt_sources does on SushiMCP

AI agents call list_llms_txt_sources to retrieve information from SushiMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why list_llms_txt_sources needs a policy

The tool retrieves and returns a list of available sources without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a discovery/enumeration function that feeds into other tools for actual fetching. This is a classic Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'lists all available source urls' and explicitly instructs to 'use fetch_llms_txt to fetch' after reading—the listing action itself is purely informational retrieval with no side effects.

How to control list_llms_txt_sources

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

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

list_llms_txt_sources 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 SushiMCP — 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.
