AI agents call list_workflow_presets to retrieve information from Tickr without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing workflow preset configurations. It performs a query-only action with no ability to modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius is minimal—an agent can only view what presets exist, which poses no risk to data integrity or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workflow_presets' and description 'List all available workflow presets' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all available workflow presets. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tickr MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tickr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_workflow_presets: 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 Tickr. Nothing to install.
list_workflow_presets 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_workflow_presets 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_workflow_presets. 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_workflow_presets is provided by the Tickr MCP server (@k-system/tickr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
