WHAT IT DOES

What list_permission_sets does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents call list_permission_sets 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_permission_sets is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays permission sets for governance and access-control planning purposes. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could at most view access-control metadata, which is informational only. No permissions would be altered, no code executed, and no data destroyed or modified.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_permission_sets' and description 'Review permission sets' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Review' and 'list' are characteristic of read-only data retrieval.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_permission_sets 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_permission_sets, this is the rule to start with:

list_permission_sets Allowed

list_permission_sets 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_permission_sets": {}
  }
}

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_permission_sets call is checked against it from then on.
