AI agents call pathrule_list_workspaces to retrieve information from Pathrule without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to enumerate or retrieve existing workspaces without modifying state. The 'list' operation is a classic read pattern. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the empty description, but the verb and context from related tools support classification as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workspaces' indicates retrieval of workspace data. Description is empty, but the 'list' verb and naming pattern consistent with sibling tools (get_context, get_node, get_tree) strongly suggest a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
pathrule_list_workspaces. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pathrule MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pathrule MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pathrule_list_workspaces: 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 Pathrule. Nothing to install.
pathrule_list_workspaces 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 pathrule_list_workspaces 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 pathrule_list_workspaces. 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.
pathrule_list_workspaces is provided by the Pathrule MCP server (pathrule/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
