List available misconfiguration policies used by RAD Security to detect Kubernetes resource misconfigurations
AI agents call list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies to retrieve information from RAD Security without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a static list of available policies without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only retrieval operation that provides security information for informational purposes only. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only result in viewing policy definitions.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' which retrieves data; description states it 'List[s] available misconfiguration policies' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of any policies or resources.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RAD Security, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies": {}
}
}list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List available misconfiguration policies used by RAD Security to detect Kubernetes resource misconfigurations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RAD Security MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RAD Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies: 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 RAD Security. Nothing to install.
list_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies 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_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies 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_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies. 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_k8s_resource_misconfig_policies is provided by the RAD Security MCP server (rad-security/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RAD Security, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
