AI agents call list_conflicts to retrieve information from Tages 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 information about unresolved conflicts in the project's persistent memory system. It performs no side effects, creates no new data, modifies nothing, executes no external operations, and deletes nothing. It is purely informational, matching the Read category pattern of 'list' operations that query system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_conflicts' and description 'List unresolved memory conflicts for this project' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing conflict data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List unresolved memory conflicts for this project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tages MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tages MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_conflicts: 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 Tages. Nothing to install.
list_conflicts 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_conflicts 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_conflicts. 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_conflicts is provided by the Tages MCP server (ryantlee25-droid/tages). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
