What list_orders does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents call list_orders to retrieve information from Webcake Storefront without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_orders is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries order metadata without side effects. It is explicitly scoped to listing only (not modifying or deleting), and the description notes it retrieves 'metadata only' rather than full details. This is a standard read operation typical of e-commerce query operations. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would expose business data but not alter or delete anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_orders' and description 'List orders of the site (metadata only)' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications or destructive intent.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_orders safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Webcake Storefront, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_orders, this is the rule to start with:
list_orders 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 Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every list_orders call is checked against it from then on.
