List findings from the most recent audit, optionally filtered by severity.
AI agents call list_findings to retrieve information from Appwrite Security 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 audit findings with optional filtering—a read-only operation with no side effects, reversible modifications, code execution, deletion, or financial impact. The blast radius is minimal: an AI agent listing findings cannot cause harm beyond potentially exposing audit results.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_findings' and description 'List findings from the most recent audit, optionally filtered by severity' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List findings from the most recent audit, optionally filtered by severity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Appwrite Security MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Appwrite Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_findings: 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 Appwrite Security. Nothing to install.
list_findings 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_findings 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_findings. 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_findings is provided by the Appwrite Security MCP server (perufitlife/appwrite-security-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
