list tags
AI agents call list_tags to retrieve information from Tangled 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 and lists tags from a repository. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, data modification, or irreversible actions. The minimal description is consistent with a simple enumeration function. Severity is low because listing tags has minimal blast radius—it exposes repository metadata that is typically public or already accessible to authorized users.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'list_tags' with description 'list tags' — a listing/query operation with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list tags. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tangled MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tangled MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_tags: 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 Tangled MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_tags 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_tags 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_tags. 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_tags is provided by the Tangled MCP Server MCP server (zzstoatzz/tangled-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_tags is one line of Tangled MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
