AI agents call list_servers to retrieve information from Mullvad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
List operations that enumerate resources or return information without modification are classified as Read. This tool appears to retrieve a list of available Mullvad VPN servers, which is a non-destructive, informational query with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

list_servers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mullvad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mullvad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_servers: 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 Mullvad. Nothing to install.
list_servers 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_servers 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_servers. 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_servers is provided by the Mullvad MCP server (oresam-xyz/mullvad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
