WHAT IT DOES

What list_items does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents call list_items to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_items is rated Low

The tool lists/reviews items without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. This is a read-only query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_items' and verb 'Review items' indicate data retrieval with no modification capability.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_items safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_items, this is the rule to start with:

list_items Allowed

list_items is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_items": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sanka MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list_items call is checked against it from then on.
