list_geospatial_layers
AI agents call list_geospatial_layers to retrieve information from Données Québec MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or enumerates geospatial layers from the Données Québec open data platform. Listing operations are inherently non-destructive queries with no side effects. The empty description slightly lowers confidence, but the naming pattern and server context (open data exploration) clearly indicate a Read operation. Severity is low because enumeration of public open data poses minimal risk even if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_geospatial_layers' indicates a listing/enumeration operation. The tool description is empty, but sibling tools on this server (describe_geospatial_layer, get_geospatial_features, get_dataset_info) consistently follow a read-only pattern for…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_geospatial_layers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Données Québec MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Données Québec MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_geospatial_layers: 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 Données Québec MCP. Nothing to install.
list_geospatial_layers 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_geospatial_layers 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_geospatial_layers. 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_geospatial_layers is provided by the Données Québec MCP server (stefen-taime/donneesqc-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
