List recent process/execution history.
AI agents call list_processes 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 retrieves and queries execution history without modifying, deleting, or triggering external operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused, as it only exposes historical process information without the ability to alter state or trigger actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_processes' and description 'List recent process/execution history' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' and context of reviewing history confirm read-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List recent process/execution history. 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_processes: 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_processes 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_processes 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_processes. 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_processes 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.
list_processes is one line of Morpheus MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
