List safety/HSE incidents. Tries MXINCIDENT first, falls back to SR records with safety classification.
AI agents call list_incidents to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing incident data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It fits the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch).' Severity is low because incident data retrieval poses minimal risk even if an AI agent lists all incidents—the data is already recorded and no new harm is introduced by viewing it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_incidents' and description 'List safety/HSE incidents' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The implementation attempts to query MXINCIDENT records or search SR records with safety classification—both are read-only queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List safety/HSE incidents. Tries MXINCIDENT first, falls back to SR records with safety classification. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximo Enterprise MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maximo Enterprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_incidents: 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 Maximo Enterprise MCP. Nothing to install.
list_incidents 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_incidents 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_incidents. 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.
list_incidents is provided by the Maximo Enterprise MCP server (maximo-enterprise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
