List all configured services and downloaders. Call this first to see available services.
AI agents call list_services to retrieve information from FlixBridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about configured services without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational and serves as a discovery mechanism for other tools on the server. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_services' and description states it 'List all configured services and downloaders' — a retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all configured services and downloaders. Call this first to see available services. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FlixBridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FlixBridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_services: 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 FlixBridge. Nothing to install.
list_services 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_services 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_services. 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_services is provided by the FlixBridge MCP server (thesammykins/flixbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
