# list_work_item_types [Project Management] List work item types in a project space Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `list_work_item_types`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/list-work-item-types ## Facts - Tool: `list_work_item_types` - Server: Alibabacloud Devops (`alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops.md - Install: `npx -y alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server` - Homepage: git+ssh://git@github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server.git - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "list_work_item_types", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why list_work_item_types is rated Low This tool queries and retrieves work item type definitions from a project space. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves metadata about available work item types without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The action is informational in nature and poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'list' and description explicitly states 'List work item types' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call list_work_item_types to retrieve information from Alibabacloud Devops without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Alibabacloud Devops: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "list_work_item_types": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Alibabacloud Devops (201) - `cancel_app_release_stage_execution` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/cancel-app-release-stage-execution.md - `cancel_appstack_change_request` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/cancel-appstack-change-request.md - `delete_app_orchestration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-app-orchestration.md - `delete_branch` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-branch.md - `delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-file.md - `delete_flow_variable_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-flow-variable-group.md - `delete_resource_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-resource-member.md - `delete_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-tag.md - `delete_tag_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-tag-group.md - `delete_testcase` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-testcase.md - `delete_variable_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-variable-group.md - `delete_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/delete-version.md - `execute_app_release_stage` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/execute-app-release-stage.md - `execute_job_action` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/execute-job-action.md - `execute_pipeline_job_action` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/execute-pipeline-job-action.md - `execute_pipeline_job_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/execute-pipeline-job-run.md - `execute_system_release_stage` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/execute-system-release-stage.md - `pass_app_release_stage_validate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/pass-app-release-stage-validate.md - `pass_pipeline_validate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/pass-pipeline-validate.md - `refuse_app_release_stage_validate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/refuse-app-release-stage-validate.md - `refuse_pipeline_validate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/refuse-pipeline-validate.md - `rerun_pipeline_job_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/rerun-pipeline-job-run.md - `resume_vm_deploy_order` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/resume-vm-deploy-order.md - `retry_app_release_stage_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/retry-app-release-stage-pipeline.md - `retry_pipeline_job_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/retry-pipeline-job-run.md - `retry_vm_deploy_machine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/retry-vm-deploy-machine.md - `skip_app_release_stage_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/skip-app-release-stage-pipeline.md - `skip_pipeline_job_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/skip-pipeline-job-run.md - `skip_vm_deploy_machine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/skip-vm-deploy-machine.md - `stop_pipeline_job_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops/stop-pipeline-job-run.md - …and 171 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/alibabacloud-devops.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
