List ArgoCD applications
AI agents call argocd-list-apps to retrieve information from Kubernetes 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 to enumerate ArgoCD applications. Listing resources has no side effects and cannot alter system state. While access to this information could inform further actions, the tool itself is purely informational. Severity is low because unauthorized listing of applications poses minimal direct risk compared to write, execute, or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'argocd-list-apps' and description 'List ArgoCD applications' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays existing ArgoCD application resources without modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List ArgoCD applications. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for argocd-list-apps: 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 Kubernetes MCP Server. Nothing to install.
argocd-list-apps 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 argocd-list-apps 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 argocd-list-apps. 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.
argocd-list-apps is provided by the Kubernetes MCP Server MCP server (thekaranpargaie/kube-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
