AI agents call whitelist_list to retrieve information from AF_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 lists existing whitelist configuration data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a pure read operation that retrieves security policy information for auditing or monitoring purposes. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent misusing this tool can only view whitelist data, not alter security posture.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'whitelist_list' and description '查询当前已加载的全部白名单条目（五层）' (query all currently loaded whitelist entries) indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.

Register the AF_ MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for whitelist_list: 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 AF_MCP. Nothing to install.
whitelist_list 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 whitelist_list 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 whitelist_list. 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.
whitelist_list is provided by the AF_ MCP server (xiaqijun/af_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
