How to control list_available_profiles ↓

AI agents call list_available_profiles to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and displays existing profile metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, executing commands, or affecting financial systems. It is purely informational and read-only in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_available_profiles' and description states it 'List all available adversary and defender profiles' and 'Returns detailed information about all available security profiles'. The action is retrieval/enumeration with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_available_profiles gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_available_profiles:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_available_profiles": {}
  }
}

list_available_profiles is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Ludus FastMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
