List all available documentation topics.
AI agents call docs_list to retrieve information from Flex Sensor Agent 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 documentation metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent—worst case would be information disclosure of available topics, which is non-destructive and already intended as user-facing documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'docs_list' and description 'List all available documentation topics' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all available documentation topics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flex Sensor Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Flex Sensor Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docs_list: 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 Flex Sensor Agent. Nothing to install.
docs_list 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 docs_list 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 docs_list. 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.
docs_list is provided by the Flex Sensor Agent MCP server (tonghui666/flex-sensor-agent-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
