WHAT IT DOES

What node_list does on Mcp Anything

AI agents call node_list to retrieve information from Mcp Anything without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why node_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves or enumerates scene nodes without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only operation that queries the current state of a scene graph, typical of scene introspection in 3D/animation tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'node_list' and description 'List all nodes in a scene' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs node_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 node_list, this is the rule to start with:

node_list Allowed

node_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "node_list": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every node_list call is checked against it from then on.
