List all questions in a survey with their types and a preview of the question text
AI agents call list_questions to retrieve information from Qualtrics 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 existing survey question data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view survey structure, not alter it or cause external effects. This is a straightforward Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_questions' and description 'List all questions in a survey' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'list' and the absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirm this is a read-only query of survey metadata.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_questions gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Qualtrics MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_questions:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_questions": {}
}
}list_questions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all questions in a survey with their types and a preview of the question text. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Qualtrics MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Qualtrics MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_questions: 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 Qualtrics MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_questions 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_questions 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_questions. 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_questions is provided by the Qualtrics MCP Server MCP server (yrvelez/qualtrics-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Qualtrics MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
