AI agents call list_locations 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 performs a straightforward data retrieval operation ('list') to query existing location records. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only read information about firm locations, which is typically non-sensitive operational metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a list operation: 'List all locations' retrieves data about courthouses and offices with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all locations (courthouses, offices, etc.) in this firm. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mycase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mycase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_locations: 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_locations 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_locations 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_locations. 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_locations 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.
