AI agents call list_shops to retrieve information from Gobox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query to enumerate shops in the Gobox e-commerce platform. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could discover which shops are connected, but cannot take further action without additional tools. This is a standard inventory/metadata query.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a 'list' operation that retrieves data about connected e-commerce shops with no modification or side effects: 'List all connected e-commerce shops.'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all connected e-commerce shops. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gobox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gobox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_shops: 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 Gobox. Nothing to install.
list_shops 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_shops 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_shops. 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_shops is provided by the Gobox MCP server (winter279/gobox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
