AI agents call list_saved_queries to retrieve information from Rapid7 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing saved queries from InsightIDR, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not execute queries, modify data, delete resources, or trigger external actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would only gain visibility into what queries exist in the system, not access to underlying data or the ability to execute them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_saved_queries' and description 'List saved LEQL queries available in InsightIDR' indicate retrieval of query metadata without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List saved LEQL queries available in InsightIDR. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rapid7 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rapid7 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_saved_queries: 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 Rapid7. Nothing to install.
list_saved_queries 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_saved_queries 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_saved_queries. 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_saved_queries is provided by the Rapid7 MCP server (solomonneas/rapid7-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
