Why list_object_storage_keys needs a policy

This tool retrieves and lists existing Object Storage keys without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius—exposing keys in a list view could be a security concern, but the tool itself only retrieves information without making changes to the Linode infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_object_storage_keys' and description 'Get a list of all Object Storage keys' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control list_object_storage_keys

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Linode MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_object_storage_keys:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_object_storage_keys": {}
  }
}

list_object_storage_keys is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Linode MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
