AI agents call xcode_list_provisioning_profiles to retrieve information from Xcode without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates provisioning profiles without modifying them, executing code, or triggering external operations. It is a read-only information gathering function. The severity is low because provisioning profiles are configuration metadata; exposure of this list poses minimal risk compared to write/execute/destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all provisioning profiles' — a query operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all provisioning profiles. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xcode MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xcode MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for xcode_list_provisioning_profiles: 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 Xcode. Nothing to install.
xcode_list_provisioning_profiles 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 xcode_list_provisioning_profiles 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 xcode_list_provisioning_profiles. 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.
xcode_list_provisioning_profiles is provided by the Xcode MCP server (raunaksplanet/xcode-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
