List all global configs of a type (agents, prompts, instructions, guidelines)
AI agents call list_global_config to retrieve information from Planning Game without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and retrieves existing global configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal blast radius since it only exposes read-only access to configuration metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_global_config' and description states 'List all global configs' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all global configs of a type (agents, prompts, instructions, guidelines). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Planning Game MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Planning Game MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_global_config: 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 Planning Game. Nothing to install.
list_global_config 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_global_config 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_global_config. 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_global_config is provided by the Planning Game MCP server (planning-game-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
