List bundled correction rules, optionally filtered by layer.
AI agents call list_rules to retrieve information from GongMun Doctor MCP 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 bundled correction rules without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns metadata about the proofreading system's configuration. The optional filtering parameter does not change its fundamental nature—it remains a read-only query.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_rules' and description 'List bundled correction rules, optionally filtered by layer' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly listed in the Read category definition.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_rules gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GongMun Doctor MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_rules:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_rules": {}
}
}list_rules is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List bundled correction rules, optionally filtered by layer. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GongMun Doctor MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GongMun Doctor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_rules: 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 GongMun Doctor MCP. Nothing to install.
list_rules 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_rules 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_rules. 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_rules is provided by the GongMun Doctor MCP server (sinmb79/gongmun-doctor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from GongMun Doctor MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
