What custom_list_users does on Marketo MCP Server
AI agents call custom_list_users to retrieve information from Marketo MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why custom_list_users is rated Low
The tool lists or retrieves user data from Marketo. While it is a read operation (low severity baseline), the medium severity is justified because unrestricted access to user lists in a marketing platform could expose sensitive PII (email addresses, contact information, behavioral data) at scale.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'custom_list_users' indicates a listing/query operation. Description states it 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly,' which is a read operation that retrieves user data without modifying it.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs custom_list_users safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Marketo MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For custom_list_users, this is the rule to start with:
custom_list_users is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Marketo MCP Server, apply this rule, and every custom_list_users call is checked against it from then on.
