env.listExposed

List exposed ports for an environment

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

AI agents call env.listExposed to retrieve information from Autodock 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 env.listExposed 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.

What does the env.listExposed tool do? +

List exposed ports for an environment. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Autodock MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on env.listExposed? +

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

What risk level is env.listExposed? +

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

Can I rate-limit env.listExposed? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the env.listExposed 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 env.listExposed completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for env.listExposed. 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 env.listExposed? +

env.listExposed is provided by the Autodock MCP server (mikesol/autodock). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
