List role ACL policies (bounded by default).
AI agents call list_role_acls 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 queries and returns existing role ACL policies without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The 'bounded by default' qualifier suggests the listing is constrained, reducing exposure. Misuse would only expose policy information that is typically read-only for audit or monitoring purposes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_role_acls' and description 'List role ACL policies (bounded by default)' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a canonical Read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List role ACL 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_role_acls: 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_role_acls 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_role_acls 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_role_acls. 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_role_acls 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.
