WHAT IT DOES

What taps_listTaps does on Genesis

AI agents call taps_listTaps to retrieve information from Genesis without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`limit`	integer	—	1 to 100 (clamped); default 50
`offset`	integer	—
`status`	string	—	Comma-separated statuses, for example `pending,escalated`
`assignee_id`	string	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why taps_listTaps is rated Low

Even though taps_listTaps only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs taps_listTaps safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For taps_listTaps, this is the rule to start with:

taps_listTaps Allowed

taps_listTaps is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genesis, apply this rule, and every taps_listTaps call is checked against it from then on.
