WHAT IT DOES

What docker_volumes does on Mcp Control Plane

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

RISK

Why docker_volumes is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries Docker volume metadata without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since listing volumes poses minimal risk even if an agent queries this information.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'docker_volumes' and description states 'List Docker volumes as parsed JSON lines.' The verb 'list' and the retrieval of parsed data indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs docker_volumes safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For docker_volumes, this is the rule to start with:

docker_volumes Allowed

docker_volumes 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": {
    "docker_volumes": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about docker_volumes

What does the docker_volumes tool do? +

List Docker volumes as parsed JSON lines. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on docker_volumes? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docker_volumes: 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 Control Plane. Nothing to install.

What risk level is docker_volumes? +

docker_volumes is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit docker_volumes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the docker_volumes 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.

How do I block docker_volumes completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for docker_volumes. 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.

What MCP server provides docker_volumes? +

docker_volumes is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
