List documents with optional metadata filters. Supports high limits, folder scoping, and returning total counts.
AI agents call list-documents to retrieve information from Morphik MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists documents from the Morphik database with optional filtering and counting. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not destroy or create data. It is a pure read operation for querying document metadata and contents.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-documents' and description 'List documents with optional metadata filters. Supports high limits, folder scoping, and returning total counts.' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no data modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list-documents gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Morphik MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list-documents:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list-documents": {}
}
}list-documents is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List documents with optional metadata filters. Supports high limits, folder scoping, and returning total counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Morphik MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Morphik MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-documents: 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 Morphik MCP. Nothing to install.
list-documents 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-documents 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-documents. 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-documents is provided by the Morphik MCP server (morphik-org/morphik-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Morphik MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
