Get a list of all contracts for an agent.
AI agents call List_Contracts to retrieve information from SpaceTraders MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves contract data from the SpaceTraders API without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple query operation that returns existing information. The low severity reflects minimal risk—reading contract data does not enable destructive, financial, or other impactful actions by itself, though the information could inform downstream decisions via other tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'List_Contracts' and description states 'Get a list of all contracts for an agent.' The verb 'Get a list' indicates a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a list of all contracts for an agent. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceTraders MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SpaceTraders MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for List_Contracts: 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 SpaceTraders MCP Server. Nothing to install.
List_Contracts 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_Contracts 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_Contracts. 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_Contracts is provided by the SpaceTraders MCP Server MCP server (thevalverde/spacetraders-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
