WHAT IT DOES

What list_roms does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call list_roms 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_roms is rated Low

The tool retrieves and enumerates ROM files from a specified directory. This is a passive read operation with no side effects—it does not execute code, modify files, delete data, or trigger external actions. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only expose file listing information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_roms' and description 'List ROM files for one system folder' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

list_roms Allowed

list_roms 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": {
    "list_roms": {}
  }
}

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_roms call is checked against it from then on.
