WHAT IT DOES

What list_batches does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call list_batches 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 list_batches is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about existing worker batches without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read operation with low severity since exposure would only allow an agent to view batch metadata without affecting system state or causing harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_batches' and description states it 'List[s] recent worker batches' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

list_batches Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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 list_batches call is checked against it from then on.

List recent worker batches in this MCP process. 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 list_batches? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_batches: 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 list_batches? +

Can I rate-limit list_batches? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_batches 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 list_batches completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_batches. 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 list_batches? +

list_batches 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.
