List every Memanto agent visible to the current API key.
AI agents call list_agents to retrieve information from Memanto MCP 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 information about existing agents without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple enumeration/list operation, which falls squarely into the Read category. The severity is low because listing agents does not expose sensitive data by itself and the blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate what exists but cannot modify or delete.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_agents' and description 'List every Memanto agent visible to the current API key' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List every Memanto agent visible to the current API key. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memanto MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memanto MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_agents: 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 Memanto MCP. Nothing to install.
list_agents 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_agents 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_agents. 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_agents is provided by the Memanto MCP server (moorcheh-ai/memanto). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
