List all connected streaming channels/platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.) with their connection status
AI agents call list_channels to retrieve information from Restream MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries existing channel information and returns their status. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a read-only information retrieval operation, making it the least severe category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_channels' and description 'List all connected streaming channels/platforms... with their connection status' indicates retrieval of configuration and status data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all connected streaming channels/platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.) with their connection status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Restream MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Restream MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_channels: 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 Restream MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_channels 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_channels 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_channels. 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_channels is provided by the Restream MCP Server MCP server (shaktech786/restream-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
