WHAT IT DOES

What agentbrush_list_references does on Mcp Server

AI agents call agentbrush_list_references to retrieve information from Mcp Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`tags`	array	—	Optional: filter references by tags. OR semantics — an entry matches if it has any of the provided tags (case-insensitive). Omit to list all references.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why agentbrush_list_references is rated Low

This tool purely queries and retrieves metadata about existing reference images from the project's brand identity folder. It has no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it simply enumerates files and returns information. The optional tags parameter is a filter, not a write operation. Blast radius if misused is minimal: an AI could only over-query or retrieve unnecessary data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Browse[s] reference images' and 'Returns a list of image files with their filenames, tags, descriptions, and absolute paths'. The verb 'list' and 'browse' indicate read-only retrieval operations with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs agentbrush_list_references safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For agentbrush_list_references, this is the rule to start with:

agentbrush_list_references Allowed

agentbrush_list_references is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about agentbrush_list_references

What does the agentbrush_list_references tool do? +

Browse reference images available in the project brand identity folder (.agentbrush/references/). Returns a list of image files with their filenames, tags, descriptions, and absolute paths, merged from identity.json.references[] manifest entries and any additional image files found on disk. Call this before agentbrush_generate when the user mentions a style, brand, or visual reference, so you can pick the most relevant images to include in the generation request. Optional tags parameter filters by tag (OR semantics, case-insensitive): { tags: ["hero", "logo"] } returns entries tagged with either "hero" or "logo". Omit the parameter to see every reference. Returns metadata only — no image bytes. No authentication required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does agentbrush_list_references accept? +

agentbrush_list_references accepts 1 parameter: tags. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
