List OCI services available via service gateway.
AI agents call list_services 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 information about available OCI services accessible through a service gateway. It performs a read-only lookup operation with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive capabilities. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only discover what services are available, which is non-sensitive metadata in most cases.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_services' and description 'List OCI services available via service gateway' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List OCI services available via service gateway. 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_services: 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_services 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_services 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_services. 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_services 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.
