List all Cursor workspaces with their metadata
AI agents call list_workspaces to retrieve information from Cursor DB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves metadata about workspaces. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about available workspaces. Confidence is high because the name and description are explicit and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workspaces' and description 'List all Cursor workspaces with their metadata' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns workspace information without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all Cursor workspaces with their metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cursor DB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cursor DB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_workspaces: 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 Cursor DB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_workspaces 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_workspaces 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_workspaces. 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_workspaces is provided by the Cursor DB MCP Server MCP server (taylorchen/cursor-db-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
