Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs form_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For form_list, this is the rule to start with:
form_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every form_list call is checked against it from then on.
