WHAT IT DOES

What sort-media-children does on Mcp Dev

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

RISK

Why sort-media-children is rated Low

Even though sort-media-children only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sort-media-children safely

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

sort-media-children Allowed

sort-media-children 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": {
    "sort-media-children": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Dev, apply this rule, and every sort-media-children call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about sort-media-children

What does the sort-media-children tool do? +

Sorts the children of the media item identified by Id by a system field (Name, CreateDate or UpdateDate) in the given direction (Ascending or Descending). This is DIFFERENT from sort-media: sort-media reorders children according to an explicit list of ids and sort orders you provide, whereas sort-media-children sorts every child of {id} automatically by the chosen field and direction - no explicit ordering is required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Dev MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on sort-media-children? +

Register the Mcp Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sort-media-children: 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 Dev. Nothing to install.

What risk level is sort-media-children? +

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

Can I rate-limit sort-media-children? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sort-media-children 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 sort-media-children completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sort-media-children. 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 sort-media-children? +

sort-media-children is provided by the Mcp Dev MCP server (@umbraco-cms/mcp-dev). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
