What script_list does on Mcp Anything
AI agents call script_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.
Why script_list is rated Low
This tool only retrieves information about scripts; it performs no writes, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The 'list' verb is a classic Read pattern. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—listing scripts cannot damage systems or trigger unintended actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'script_list' and description 'List all scripts in the project' indicate a read-only operation that queries and retrieves existing scripts without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs script_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 script_list, this is the rule to start with:
script_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 script_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about script_list
List all scripts in the project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Anything MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Anything MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for script_list: 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 Mcp Anything. Nothing to install.
script_list 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 script_list 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 script_list. 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.
script_list is provided by the Mcp Anything MCP server (Zaymadkid/mcp-anything). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
