List all pipeline workflows.
AI agents call list_pipeline_workflows to retrieve information from CATS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about pipeline workflows without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation typical of 'Read' category tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be exposure of workflow metadata already accessible to authenticated users.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pipeline_workflows' combined with description 'List all pipeline workflows' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all pipeline workflows. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CATS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CATS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_pipeline_workflows: 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 CATS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_pipeline_workflows 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 list_pipeline_workflows 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 list_pipeline_workflows. 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.
list_pipeline_workflows is provided by the CATS MCP Server MCP server (vanman2024/cats-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
