List all workspaces
AI agents call workspace_list to retrieve information from Anythingllm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data about existing workspaces with no side effects. It matches the Read category definition: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. The severity is low because listing workspaces poses minimal security risk—it returns inventory information that does not alter system state or compromise sensitive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'workspace_list' and description 'List all workspaces' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and returns workspace information without modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all workspaces. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Anythingllm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Anythingllm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for workspace_list: 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 Anythingllm. Nothing to install.
workspace_list 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 workspace_list 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 workspace_list. 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.
workspace_list is provided by the Anythingllm MCP server (moliver28/anythingllm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
