What list_actions does on Qt Pilot

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

Why list_actions needs a policy

This is a read-only introspection tool that queries the application's action registry to return available QActions. It has no side effects—it does not execute actions, modify data, or perform any operations beyond data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since listing available actions poses no security or operational risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_actions' combined with description 'List all QActions in the application' indicates a retrieval operation that enumerates UI actions without modifying application state or triggering those actions.

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

How to control list_actions

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

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

list_actions 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 Qt Pilot — 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.

Questions about list_actions

What does the list_actions tool do? +

List all QActions in the application. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qt Pilot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_actions? +

Register the Qt Pilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_actions: 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 Qt Pilot. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_actions? +

list_actions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_actions? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_actions 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.

How do I block list_actions completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_actions. 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.

What MCP server provides list_actions? +

list_actions is provided by the Qt Pilot MCP server (neatobandit0/qt-pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Qt Pilot tool call.

Start from Qt Pilot, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
