AI agents call AHK_File_List to retrieve information from Ahk without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists files with optional filtering by name pattern. It performs no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. It is a straightforward read-only operation that queries the file system for information. The severity is low because listing files poses minimal risk even if an AI agent uses it, though it could reveal file structure information.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'AHK_File_List' and description explicitly states 'List AHK files with optional name search.' This is a query/retrieval operation with no modification capability.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access AHK_File_List gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ahk, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for AHK_File_List:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"AHK_File_List": {}
}
}AHK_File_List is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Ahk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for AHK_File_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 Ahk. Nothing to install.
AHK_File_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 AHK_File_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 AHK_File_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.
AHK_File_List is provided by the Ahk MCP server (truecrimedev/ahk-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
