List all Birst analytical spaces accessible to the current user. Use this to discover available data spaces before running queries.
AI agents call birst_list_spaces to retrieve information from Infor Birst MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation that returns metadata about available spaces. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and poses minimal risk even if called repeatedly or with unexpected arguments. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about available spaces, which is typically non-sensitive structural metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List all Birst analytical spaces' - a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data. The purpose is discovery/enumeration of accessible resources.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all Birst analytical spaces accessible to the current user. Use this to discover available data spaces before running queries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for birst_list_spaces: 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 Infor Birst MCP Server. Nothing to install.
birst_list_spaces 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 birst_list_spaces 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 birst_list_spaces. 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.
birst_list_spaces is provided by the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server (mikahdev/infor-birst-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
