Get a flat list of all folders (OUs, containers, domains) in the LDAP directory
AI agents call ldap_list_folders to retrieve information from Mcp Database without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves LDAP directory information (organizational units, containers, domains) without altering or deleting data. It is a read operation. Severity is medium rather than low because LDAP directories often contain sensitive organizational and user information; an AI agent could misuse this to enumerate organizational structure for reconnaissance, though there is no direct data exfiltration risk in the tool…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ldap_list_folders' and description 'Get a flat list of all folders (OUs, containers, domains) in the LDAP directory' indicate a query operation that retrieves directory structure information with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a flat list of all folders (OUs, containers, domains) in the LDAP directory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Database MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Database MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ldap_list_folders: 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 Mcp Database. Nothing to install.
ldap_list_folders 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 ldap_list_folders 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 ldap_list_folders. 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.
ldap_list_folders is provided by the Mcp Database MCP server (nam088/mcp-database-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
