List all spaces in a workspace. Spaces are folder views where is_space is true.
AI agents call appflowy_list_spaces 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 queries and returns information about spaces within a workspace without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only retrieval operation with minimal security impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all spaces in a workspace' — a retrieval operation with no data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all spaces in a workspace. Spaces are folder views where is_space is true. 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_spaces: 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_spaces 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_spaces 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_spaces. 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_spaces 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.
