orgo_list_files

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why orgo_list_files needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates file information from a workspace or VM without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk even if an AI agent explores the filesystem exhaustively. The primary risk is information disclosure of file paths and metadata, which is low severity in most contexts.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'orgo_list_files' and description states 'List files in a workspace' with explicit purpose to 'discover files'. The verbs 'list' and 'discover' indicate retrieval without modification.

POLICY

How to control orgo_list_files

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "orgo_list_files": {}
  }
}

orgo_list_files is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Orgo MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about orgo_list_files

What does the orgo_list_files tool do? +

List files in a workspace, optionally filtered by computer. Use to discover files previously uploaded to a workspace; for files inside the VM. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Orgo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on orgo_list_files? +

Register the Orgo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for orgo_list_files: 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 Orgo MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is orgo_list_files? +

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

Can I rate-limit orgo_list_files? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the orgo_list_files 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 orgo_list_files completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for orgo_list_files. 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 orgo_list_files? +

orgo_list_files is provided by the Orgo MCP Server MCP server (nickvasilescu/orgo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Orgo MCP Server tool call.

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