What list_pages does on Cosense

AI agents call list_pages to retrieve information from Cosense without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_pages needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries a list of pages from a Cosense project without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a standard read operation with minimal security risk - the worst case is information disclosure about what pages exist in a project, which is typically low-severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pages' combined with description 'List Cosense pages in the project' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_pages gives an agent:

How to control list_pages

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Cosense, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_pages:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_pages": {}
  }
}

list_pages is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Cosense — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
