Why list_active_scenarios needs a policy

This tool performs a query/list operation to retrieve information about active scenarios. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not delete or create resources. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_active_scenarios' and description 'Lists all active scenarios across servers' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control list_active_scenarios

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MockLoop MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_active_scenarios:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_active_scenarios": {}
  }
}

list_active_scenarios is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MockLoop MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about list_active_scenarios

What does the list_active_scenarios tool do? +

Lists all active scenarios across servers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MockLoop MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_active_scenarios? +

Register the MockLoop MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_active_scenarios: 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 MockLoop MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_active_scenarios? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_active_scenarios? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_active_scenarios 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 list_active_scenarios completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_active_scenarios. 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_active_scenarios? +

list_active_scenarios is provided by the MockLoop MCP Server MCP server (mockloop/mockloop-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MockLoop MCP Server tool call.

Start from MockLoop MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
