list_deployment

List deployments under the authenticated user or team

How to control list_deployment ↓

AI agents call list_deployment to retrieve information from Vercel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool performs a data retrieval operation. It lists existing deployments but does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The action is purely informational with no side effects, making it a Read category risk. Severity is low because listing deployments exposes metadata about infrastructure but does not enable direct operational changes or data destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_deployment' and description 'List deployments under the authenticated user or team' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves/queries deployment data without modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_deployment gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Vercel MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_deployment:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_deployment": {}
  }
}

list_deployment is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Vercel MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the list_deployment tool do? +

List deployments under the authenticated user or team. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vercel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_deployment? +

Register the Vercel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_deployment: 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 Vercel MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_deployment? +

list_deployment is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_deployment? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_deployment 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.

How do I block list_deployment completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_deployment. 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.

What MCP server provides list_deployment? +

list_deployment is provided by the Vercel MCP Server MCP server (quegenx/vercel-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Vercel MCP Server tool call.
