AI agents call list-endpoints to retrieve information from RunPod MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves information about endpoints managed through the RunPod API. The 'list' operation has no side effects—it only queries and returns data about existing endpoints. Although the description is empty, the naming convention is explicit.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-endpoints' indicates a query/retrieval operation with the 'list' prefix, which is a standard pattern for read operations that enumerate existing resources without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list-endpoints gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RunPod MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list-endpoints:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list-endpoints": {}
}
}list-endpoints is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

list-endpoints. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RunPod MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RunPod MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-endpoints: 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 RunPod MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list-endpoints 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-endpoints 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-endpoints. 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-endpoints is provided by the RunPod MCP Server MCP server (runpod/runpod-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
