List batches of items
AI agents call list_batches to retrieve information from ConsignCloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries existing batch data without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation typical of inventory management systems. The low severity reflects the minimal risk of misuse—listing batches cannot directly cause harm unless sensitive business data exposure is a concern, but the action itself is non-destructive and reversible in nature.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_batches' and description 'List batches of items' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. Consistent with the Read category pattern of 'list' operations that query data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List batches of items. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ConsignCloud MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ConsignCloud MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_batches: 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 ConsignCloud MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_batches 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_batches 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_batches. 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_batches is provided by the ConsignCloud MCP Server MCP server (modellers/mcp-consigncloud). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_batches is one line of ConsignCloud MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
