List all source file paths in a project
AI agents call list_source_files to retrieve information from Prowpt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries information about project source files without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It has no side effects and falls squarely within the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an AI agent misuses it, as the worst outcome would be unwanted enumeration of project structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_source_files' and description 'List all source file paths in a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all source file paths in a project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prowpt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_source_files: 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 Prowpt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_source_files 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_source_files 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_source_files. 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_source_files is provided by the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server (prowptai/prowpt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
