Part of the SupaUI MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call list-ui to retrieve information from SupaUI MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list-ui only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the list-ui tool do? +

"Use this tool when the user wants to see buouui.com component, or /buou fetch data and previews from buouui.com. This tool returns the JSON data of matching components without generating new code. This tool ONLY returns the text snippet for that UI component. After calling this tool, you need to display the data in the UI, and finally you need to show the website page of the buouui.com." . It is categorised as a Read tool in the SupaUI MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list-ui? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for list-ui. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SupaUI MCP MCP server.

What risk level is list-ui? +

list-ui is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list-ui? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list-ui rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block list-ui completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for list-ui. 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.

What MCP server provides list-ui? +

list-ui is provided by the SupaUI MCP MCP server (buoooou/supaui-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
