List all pages in a Collective. Returns flat metadata (id, title, parentId, emoji, tags, timestamps, paths). Use parentId to reconstruct the tree.
AI agents call list_pages to retrieve information from Collectives without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries metadata about pages (id, title, parentId, emoji, tags, timestamps, paths) without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no side effects, fitting squarely into the Read category. The low severity reflects that unauthorized listing of page metadata poses minimal direct harm compared to destructive or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List all pages in a Collective' and 'Returns flat metadata' without mentioning any modifications or side effects. The function name 'list_pages' is a standard read operation pattern.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all pages in a Collective. Returns flat metadata (id, title, parentId, emoji, tags, timestamps, paths). Use parentId to reconstruct the tree. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Collectives MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Collectives MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_pages: 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 Collectives. Nothing to install.
list_pages is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_pages 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_pages. 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.
list_pages is provided by the Collectives MCP server (megamaced/nc_collectives-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
