List availability domains (default compartment: tenancy).
AI agents call list_availability_domains to retrieve information from OCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only query operation that retrieves a list of availability domains from OCI. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains only informational knowledge about the OCI infrastructure topology, which is typically non-sensitive metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_availability_domains' and description states 'List availability domains', which retrieves infrastructure metadata without modifying or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List availability domains (default compartment: tenancy). It is categorised as a Read tool in the OCI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OCI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_availability_domains: 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 OCI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_availability_domains 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_availability_domains 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_availability_domains. 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_availability_domains is provided by the OCI MCP Server MCP server (sarthak-pansare/oci-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
