What list_products does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents call list_products 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_products is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves product listing information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes publicly relevant storefront product information.
From the tool's definition Tool returns product metadata only (id, name, slug, price, image, status) with no modification capabilities. Description explicitly states 'metadata only' and directs to separate 'get_product' for full details, indicating this is a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_products 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_products, this is the rule to start with:
list_products 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_products call is checked against it from then on.
