List Node.js versions available to download and install.
AI agents call nvm_list_remote to retrieve information from NVM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays available Node.js versions from a remote repository. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. It is a straightforward read operation analogous to listing available packages or versions, with minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] Node.js versions available to download and install' - a purely informational query with no side effects or state changes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Node.js versions available to download and install. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NVM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NVM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nvm_list_remote: 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 NVM MCP Server. Nothing to install.
nvm_list_remote 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 nvm_list_remote 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 nvm_list_remote. 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.
nvm_list_remote is provided by the NVM MCP Server MCP server (realjacoblinder/nvm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
