List the social media accounts (channels) connected to the workspace. Returns one entry per connected profile (Instagram, Facebook page, X account, etc.). Use this when the user asks which accounts are connected, or to discover channel IDs to use in other tools.
AI agents call list_channels to retrieve information from Viraly MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing channel configurations without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward query operation used for discovery. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn which accounts are connected, but cannot take unauthorized actions on those accounts with this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_channels' and description states it 'List[s] the social media accounts' and 'Returns one entry per connected profile'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List the social media accounts (channels) connected to the workspace. Returns one entry per connected profile (Instagram, Facebook page, X account, etc.). Use this when the user asks which accounts are connected, or to discover channel IDs to use in other tools. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Viraly MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Viraly MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_channels: 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 Viraly MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_channels 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_channels 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_channels. 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_channels is provided by the Viraly MCP Server MCP server (viraly-io/viraly-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
