AI agents call list_active_bots to retrieve information from Boosty MCP DeFi Platform without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries the state of bots without causing any mutations or triggering external operations. It falls squarely into the Read category. While the server overall facilitates high-risk DeFi operations, this specific tool is purely informational.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'list_active_bots' and description 'List all active bots' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. It retrieves information about existing bots without creating, modifying, or deleting anything.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_active_bots gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Boosty MCP DeFi Platform, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_active_bots:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_active_bots": {}
}
} list_active_bots is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all active bots. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_active_bots: 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 Boosty MCP DeFi Platform. Nothing to install.
list_active_bots 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_active_bots 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_active_bots. 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_active_bots is provided by the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP server (nirholas/boosty). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Boosty MCP DeFi Platform, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
