List available screenshots in the .dev-logs/screenshots directory. Returns file paths that can be read with Claude
AI agents call list_screenshots to retrieve information from Qontinui MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a directory listing operation to enumerate screenshot files. It is purely informational with no side effects — it retrieves data without altering state, creating, modifying, or deleting resources. The ability to read the returned file paths is a separate action not performed by this tool itself.
From the tool's definition 'List available screenshots in the .dev-logs/screenshots directory. Returns file paths that can be read with Claude' — the tool only retrieves and lists file paths; no modification, deletion, or execution occurs.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List available screenshots in the .dev-logs/screenshots directory. Returns file paths that can be read with Claude. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qontinui MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_screenshots: 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 Qontinui MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_screenshots 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_screenshots 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_screenshots. 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_screenshots is provided by the Qontinui MCP Server MCP server (qontinui/qontinui-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
