Why list_builds needs a policy

This tool queries and returns build information without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any resources. It is a straightforward read operation that poses minimal security risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing build data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_builds' and description 'List all builds in Komodo' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_builds gives an agent:

How to control list_builds

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Komodo, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_builds:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_builds": {}
  }
}

list_builds is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Komodo — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
