List_Waypoints
AI agents call List_Waypoints 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.
List operations are characteristic of Read category tools—they query and return data without side effects. While the description is uninformative, the tool name's structure ('List_*') and its position among sibling tools (which include destructive, execute, and write operations) suggests this lists waypoint data for the SpaceTraders universe.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'List_Waypoints' indicates a retrieval operation (list = query/fetch pattern). The empty description limits certainty, but the naming convention aligns with read-only operations that retrieve waypoint data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List_Waypoints. 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_Waypoints: 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_Waypoints 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_Waypoints 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_Waypoints. 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_Waypoints 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.
