# list_users

Use this when the user wants to see users in their DoiT organization or check who has access. Includes active users and pending invitations. Returns roleId values, which resolve to role details in list_roles. Do NOT use this for listing roles (use list_roles) or validating the current user (use validate_user).

- Server: Doit (`@doitintl/doit-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/doit.md
- Install: `npx -y @doitintl/doit-mcp-server`
- Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@doitintl/doit-mcp-server
- 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_users",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_users is rated Low

Even though list_users only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

## Use case

AI agents call list_users to retrieve information from Doit 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 Doit:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_users": {}
  }
}
```
