List all node9 approver channels and their current enabled/disabled state.

How to control node9_approver_list ↓

AI agents call node9_approver_list to retrieve information from Node9-Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool only retrieves and displays the current state of approver channels. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The read-only nature and informational purpose make this a low-severity Read operation suitable for security governance introspection.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states 'List all node9 approver channels and their current enabled/disabled state' — a pure query operation that retrieves status information without modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node9_approver_list gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Node9-Proxy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for node9_approver_list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "node9_approver_list": {}
  }
}

node9_approver_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Node9-Proxy — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
