AI agents call scf_list_organizations to retrieve information from Scf without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves organizational metadata that the caller already has access to. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. It is purely informational, serving as a lookup utility to obtain identifiers needed by downstream tools.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List every organization' and 'Returns org UUID, name, subscription tier, and member count' — retrieves data with no side effects. The verb 'list' and 'returns' indicate a read-only query operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List every organization the caller has access to. Returns org UUID, name, subscription tier, and member count. Use this first to obtain the org_id other tools need. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scf MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scf MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scf_list_organizations: 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 Scf. Nothing to install.
scf_list_organizations 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 scf_list_organizations 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 scf_list_organizations. 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.
scf_list_organizations is provided by the Scf MCP server (mcp-server-scf). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
