What resources-list does on SettleMint

AI agents call resources-list to retrieve information from SettleMint without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why resources-list needs a policy

The naming convention '-list' strongly suggests this tool retrieves or queries a collection of resources without side effects. In the context of SettleMint's blockchain infrastructure platform, listing resources is a non-destructive read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resources-list' indicates a listing/enumeration operation. The suffix '-list' is a strong signal for retrieval without modification. Description is empty, which reduces confidence slightly.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resources-list gives an agent:

How to control resources-list

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SettleMint, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for resources-list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resources-list": {}
  }
}

resources-list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register SettleMint — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
