AI agents call list_services to retrieve information from Notify Me 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 existing webhook configurations without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a purely informational read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_services' and description states it 'List configured webhook services and auto-detected default' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List configured webhook services and auto-detected default. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Notify Me MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Notify Me 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 Notify Me. 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 Notify Me MCP server (thesammykins/notifyme_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
