List all published specs/contracts.
AI agents call list_specs to retrieve information from Interagent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves information about published specifications or contracts without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation that returns data to the caller.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_specs' and description 'List all published specs/contracts' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all published specs/contracts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Interagent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Interagent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_specs: 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 Interagent. Nothing to install.
list_specs 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_specs 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_specs. 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_specs is provided by the Interagent MCP server (signalclaude/interagent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
