AI agents call profile_list to retrieve information from It2mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns configuration data about iTerm2 profiles. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not create or delete resources. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category risk with low severity since profile names and GUIDs are configuration metadata not typically sensitive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'profile_list' and description 'List all iTerm2 profiles with their GUIDs and names' indicate a query operation that retrieves profile information without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all iTerm2 profiles with their GUIDs and names. It is categorised as a Read tool in the It2mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the It2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for profile_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 It2mcp. Nothing to install.
profile_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 profile_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 profile_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.
profile_list is provided by the It2 MCP server (urjitbhatia/it2mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
profile_list is one line of It2's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
