WHAT IT DOES

What object_list does on Mcp Anything

AI agents call object_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 object_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves scene data without altering state. It is a passive read operation analogous to listing or querying a data structure. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by listing scene objects repeatedly or excessively, only potentially waste resources or leak information about scene composition.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'object_list' and description states 'List all objects in the current scene' — a query operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs object_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 object_list, this is the rule to start with:

object_list Allowed

object_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": {
    "object_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 object_list call is checked against it from then on.
