List resources in a project, optionally filtered by resource type.
AI agents call list_resources to retrieve information from APK Security Guard MCP Suite without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and lists project resources without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward informational query, making it a Read category risk with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_resources' and description states it 'List resources in a project, optionally filtered by resource type.' This is a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List resources in a project, optionally filtered by resource type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_resources: 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 APK Security Guard MCP Suite. Nothing to install.
list_resources 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_resources 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_resources. 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_resources is provided by the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP server (zmbcen/apk-security-guard-mcp-suite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
