List all resource types searchable via Resource Search.
AI agents call list_resource_types 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 retrieves metadata about resource types available in OCI's Resource Search feature. It has no side effects, performs no modifications, executes no code, and poses minimal risk if misused by an agent—at worst, it would return informational data about what resources exist in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_resource_types' and description 'List all resource types searchable via Resource Search' indicate a retrieval operation that queries available resource metadata without modifying or executing any operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all resource types searchable via Resource Search. 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_resource_types: 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_resource_types 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_resource_types 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_resource_types. 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_resource_types 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.
