List all files (images, documents, etc.) uploaded to a GitBook space
AI agents call get_space_files to retrieve information from GitBook MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query/list operation to retrieve metadata about files in a GitBook space. It has no side effects—it neither creates, modifies, deletes, nor executes code. The action is read-only, consistent with similar tools on this server (list_collections, list_organizations, list_spaces).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_space_files' and description 'List all files (images, documents, etc.) uploaded to a GitBook space' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion capability.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_space_files gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GitBook MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_space_files:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_space_files": {}
}
}get_space_files is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all files (images, documents, etc.) uploaded to a GitBook space. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GitBook MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GitBook MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_space_files: 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 GitBook MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_space_files 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 get_space_files 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 get_space_files. 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.
get_space_files is provided by the GitBook MCP Server MCP server (rickysullivan/gitbook-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from GitBook MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
