AI agents call list_groups to retrieve information from Datagovma without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists groups from the Moroccan Open Data portal without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It follows the same read-only pattern as sibling tools like list_datasets, list_organizations, get_dataset, and get_resource. Even though the description is empty, the naming convention and server context provide high confidence that this is a simple listing/retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_groups' and sibling tools (get_dataset, list_datasets, search_datasets, etc.) are all read-only data retrieval operations against a CKAN-based open data portal.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_groups. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Datagovma MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Datagovma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_groups: 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 Datagovma. Nothing to install.
list_groups 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_groups 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_groups. 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_groups is provided by the Datagovma MCP server (mohtamimad/datagovma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
