List config assignments (library profiles bound to scopes). Optional filters: scope / device-function / profile-type.
AI agents call list_config_assignments 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 displays existing configuration assignments without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It is a pure data retrieval operation with no capability to alter system state, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_config_assignments' and description 'List config assignments' indicates a retrieval operation. The description explicitly states it lists library profiles bound to scopes with optional filters—a query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List config assignments (library profiles bound to scopes). Optional filters: scope / device-function / profile-type. 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_config_assignments: 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_config_assignments 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_config_assignments 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_config_assignments. 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_config_assignments 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.
