What api_key_list does on Nasbridge
AI agents call api_key_list to retrieve information from Nasbridge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why api_key_list is rated Low
This tool performs a query/list operation that retrieves metadata about API keys without returning sensitive secret values or modifying any data. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk as it only exposes non-sensitive configuration information. The explicit mention that secret values are NOT included further confirms this is a safe read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List all API keys configured on the system' and clarifies it shows 'key names and metadata (not the secret values)', indicating a read-only operation that retrieves information without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs api_key_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nasbridge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For api_key_list, this is the rule to start with:
api_key_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nasbridge, apply this rule, and every api_key_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about api_key_list
List all API keys configured on the system. Shows key names and metadata (not the secret values). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nasbridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nasbridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for api_key_list: 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 Nasbridge. Nothing to install.
api_key_list 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 api_key_list 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 api_key_list. 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.
api_key_list is provided by the Nasbridge MCP server (maverick0628/nasbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
