List Docker containers with their status.
AI agents call docker_list_containers to retrieve information from HomeOps MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays status information about Docker containers. It performs no mutations, executions, or destructive actions—it is purely observational. The verb 'list' and the focus on 'status' confirm this is a read-only operation with minimal security impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'docker_list_containers' and description 'List Docker containers with their status' indicate a query operation that retrieves container information without modifying or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Docker containers with their status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HomeOps MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HomeOps MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docker_list_containers: 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 HomeOps MCP Server. Nothing to install.
docker_list_containers 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 docker_list_containers 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 docker_list_containers. 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.
docker_list_containers is provided by the HomeOps MCP Server MCP server (wolffcatskyy/homeops-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
