List all saved connection profiles from ~/.overlord-mcp/config.json.
AI agents call list_profiles to retrieve information from Overlord 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 and returns existing configuration data from a local file without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It has no side effects and is a standard read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_profiles' and description states it 'List[s] all saved connection profiles' — a pure retrieval operation with no data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all saved connection profiles from ~/.overlord-mcp/config.json. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Overlord MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Overlord MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_profiles: 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 Overlord MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_profiles 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_profiles 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_profiles. 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_profiles is provided by the Overlord MCP Server MCP server (skeeminator/overlord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
