WHAT IT DOES

What list_views does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents call list_views 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_views is rated Low

This tool retrieves and enumerates existing views without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational. Even when combined with sibling tools that perform writes, deletes, and financial operations (activate_invoice, approve_payroll_run, etc.), this specific tool remains a simple data retrieval function.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_views' and description states it 'List saved Sanka views for any supported object.' The verb 'list' and the retrieval nature of querying saved views indicate a read-only operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_views 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_views, this is the rule to start with:

list_views Allowed

list_views 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_views": {}
  }
}

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_views call is checked against it from then on.
