AI agents call list_case_documents to retrieve information from Mycase 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 existing case documents without side effects, making it a Read operation. The severity is low because listing documents poses minimal risk—it only exposes information that is already accessible within the user's law firm account, with no capability to modify, delete, or execute arbitrary actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_case_documents' and description 'List all documents for a case' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Register the Mycase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_case_documents: 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 Mycase. Nothing to install.
list_case_documents 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_case_documents 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_case_documents. 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_case_documents is provided by the Mycase MCP server (rosenadvertising/mycase-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
