What list_chunks does on WeKnora MCP Server

AI agents call list_chunks to retrieve information from WeKnora MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why list_chunks needs a policy

The tool performs a query operation to retrieve and display chunks of knowledge without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. This is a straightforward data retrieval function typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk if an AI agent calls this tool, as it only lists existing data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_chunks' and description 'List chunks of knowledge' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

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

How to control list_chunks

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

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

list_chunks 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 WeKnora MCP Server — 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.
