List functions in an application.
AI agents call list_functions 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 tool queries and returns a list of existing functions within an application. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The sibling tools on this server demonstrate write and execute capabilities (create_bucket, create_cluster, etc.), but list_functions is clearly a simple enumeration/query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_functions' and description 'List functions in an application' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List functions in an application. 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_functions: 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_functions 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_functions 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_functions. 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_functions 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.
