Why list_accounts needs a policy

This tool retrieves account data from Front without any side effects. Listing accounts is a read-only operation that queries existing data. While it may return sensitive business information (account details), the tool itself performs no irreversible changes, does not execute code, and does not move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_accounts' and description states it 'List all accounts in Front' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands.

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

How to control list_accounts

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

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

list_accounts 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 Frontapp MCP Server — 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.
