List CNAC authorization policies (bounded by default).
AI agents call list_authz_policies to retrieve information from API-Central without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates authorization policies without creating, modifying, or deleting them. It is a straightforward read operation on network configuration data. The bounded default behavior limits potential information exposure.
From the tool's definition List CNAC authorization policies (bounded by default) — the word 'list' indicates data retrieval with no modification or deletion. 'Bounded by default' further suggests read-only access with inherent safety constraints.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List CNAC authorization policies (bounded by default). It is categorised as a Read tool in the API-Central MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the API-Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_authz_policies: 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 API-Central. Nothing to install.
list_authz_policies 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_authz_policies 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_authz_policies. 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_authz_policies is provided by the API-Central MCP server (secure-ssid/centralmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
