What privilege_list does on Nasbridge
AI agents call privilege_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 privilege_list is rated Low
This tool only retrieves and lists existing privilege and role configurations. It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no commands, and makes no changes to system state. It is a straightforward read operation that falls clearly into the 'Read' category with low severity since reading privilege information alone poses minimal risk without accompanying write or execute capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'privilege_list' and description states 'List all privileges/roles configured on the system' - a pure query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs privilege_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 privilege_list, this is the rule to start with:
privilege_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 privilege_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about privilege_list
List all privileges/roles configured on the system. 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 privilege_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.
privilege_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 privilege_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 privilege_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.
privilege_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.
