List scans for a project
AI agents call list_scans to retrieve information from Trackings MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of scans associated with a project. It performs no write, delete, or execute operations—purely a data retrieval function. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent; listing scans poses no financial, destructive, or operational risks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_scans' and description 'List scans for a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List scans for a project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Trackings MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Trackings MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_scans: 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 Trackings MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_scans 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_scans 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_scans. 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_scans is provided by the Trackings MCP Server MCP server (peterw/trackings-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
