List available resource types

How to control iac_list_resource_types ↓

AI agents call iac_list_resource_types to retrieve information from OPNSense MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and enumerates available resource types without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a metadata query with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because enumeration of resource types poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'iac_list_resource_types' with description 'List available resource types' indicates a query/enumeration operation. The verb 'list' and lack of modification keywords confirm read-only behavior.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access iac_list_resource_types gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OPNSense MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for iac_list_resource_types:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "iac_list_resource_types": {}
  }
}

iac_list_resource_types is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OPNSense MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
