AI agents call list_connections to retrieve information from Queue Pilot without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_connections only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_connections gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so list_connections only ever does what you allow.

What does the list_connections tool do? +

List all client connections to the broker.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Queue Pilot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_connections? +

Register the Queue Pilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_connections: 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 Queue Pilot. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_connections? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_connections? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_connections 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_connections completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_connections. 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_connections? +

list_connections is provided by the Queue Pilot MCP server (queue-pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Queue Pilot tool call.
