List all databases in a workspace.
AI agents call appflowy_list_databases to retrieve information from AppFlowy MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a retrieval operation ('list') on existing databases, returning information about them. There are no side effects, no data modification, no execution of commands, and no destruction of data. It is a straightforward query operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it could reveal workspace structure, which is a low-severity information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'appflowy_list_databases' and description states 'List all databases in a workspace.' The verb 'list' is a read-only operation that retrieves and queries data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all databases in a workspace. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AppFlowy MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AppFlowy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for appflowy_list_databases: 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 AppFlowy MCP. Nothing to install.
appflowy_list_databases 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 appflowy_list_databases 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 appflowy_list_databases. 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.
appflowy_list_databases is provided by the AppFlowy MCP server (weironz/appflowy_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
