List sequencing runs with pagination and sorting.
AI agents call list_runs to retrieve information from NGS360 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and presents sequencing run data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation with minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing data for viewing.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_runs' and description 'List sequencing runs with pagination and sorting' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. Pagination and sorting are standard read-only query features.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List sequencing runs with pagination and sorting. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NGS360 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NGS360 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_runs: 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 NGS360 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_runs 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 list_runs 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 list_runs. 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.
list_runs is provided by the NGS360 MCP Server MCP server (ngs360/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
