AI agents call list_cards to retrieve information from Codecks 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 card data from the Codecks project management system. It performs a read-only operation with no ability to modify, create, delete, or execute arbitrary operations. The filtering mechanism is a standard query feature that does not alter any state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_cards' and description 'List cards. Filters combine with AND.' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. This is a query operation that returns existing card data without modification, creation, or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List cards. Filters combine with AND. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codecks MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codecks MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_cards: 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 Codecks. Nothing to install.
list_cards 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_cards 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_cards. 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_cards is provided by the Codecks MCP server (rangogamedev/codecks-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
