List datastores available for a cloud (VMware VMFS/vSAN, etc.).
AI agents call list_datastores to retrieve information from Morpheus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves information about available datastores in a VMware environment without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only information retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be exposure of infrastructure metadata about available storage resources.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_datastores' and description states it 'List datastores available for a cloud'. The verb 'list' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List datastores available for a cloud (VMware VMFS/vSAN, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Morpheus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Morpheus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_datastores: 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 Morpheus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_datastores 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_datastores 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_datastores. 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_datastores is provided by the Morpheus MCP Server MCP server (nixndme/morpheus-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
