list_xmind_directory

Recursively scan for XMind files

Part of the Mcp Xmind MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call list_xmind_directory to retrieve information from Mcp Xmind without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_xmind_directory only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Recursively scan for XMind files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Xmind MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_xmind_directory? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for list_xmind_directory. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Mcp Xmind MCP server.

What risk level is list_xmind_directory? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_xmind_directory? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_xmind_directory rule in your Intercept 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_xmind_directory completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for list_xmind_directory. 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_xmind_directory? +

list_xmind_directory is provided by the Mcp Xmind MCP server (@41px/mcp-xmind). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
